Huayu started as a lecturer at Beijing Film Academy

Zhang Lanxin sat up suddenly from the boat, her heartbeat quickened, and beads of sweat fell from her forehead. She widened her eyes and looked around. Everything was normal, but the scene in her dream was still vivid in her mind.

"What a strange dream." She murmured to herself, then realized that she was naked, and immediately grabbed the quilt with both hands.

She dreamed that she was entangled by two giant snakes, one male and one female. They squeezed her, sometimes causing pain and sometimes pleasure. In the end, even she herself turned into a snake...

At this moment, the door was pushed open and Fan Binbin walked in. Seeing Zhang Lanxin waking up, she put down the coffee cup in her hand and walked quickly to the bed.

"Are you awake? Why are you sweating profusely?" Fan Binbin asked with concern.

Zhang Lanxin was a little stunned, and then she realized: "Oh, I...I'm fine, I'm just a little dizzy."

"You drank a lot last night, are you not dizzy?" Fan Binbin chuckled, "But your performance was so good last night that I was shocked."

Zhang Lanxin frowned slightly: "What...how did I behave last night?"

Fan Binbin looked at her with a strange look: "You were still drunk? It was what happened after you were drunk and everyone came back together..."

Zhang Lanxin's expression changed. She tried hard to recall what happened last night. Although her memory after a hangover was blurry, it didn't completely break her. She suddenly realized one thing: "This... this is not my home."

Fan Binbin nodded: "Of course, this is Gu Zhongyu's new home. It's my first time here. The three of us came back together last night."

Zhang Lanxin was stunned. She tried hard to digest this information and was at a loss for a moment.

"Seeing as you are quite strong, don't drink if you can't handle it. I drank half a bottle of whiskey before I even got out of the car. I'm really impressed by you."

It’s impossible without drinking! It was the first time in her life that she had seen such an exciting scene. She didn't dare to continue reading without drinking, let alone later on with Fan Binbin...

She had agreed to be Gu Zhongyu's sparring partner before, and her thoughts were certainly not pure. She had already been mentally prepared for what would happen with someone, but she didn't expect that she would be played so hard for her the first time, on the highway in the middle of the night. It started in the RV, and she wasn't the only one!

I can't tell what my emotions are now, but whenever I think back to those thrilling scenes in my mind, I feel blushing.

"Then where did Mr. Gu go?"

"I don't know. I went out early in the morning. Men are so heartless and unreasonable. After eating and wiping themselves clean, they pat their butts and leave. Forget about me. But for you... a woman who has just experienced this, it's really a bit... Too much!"

Fan Binbin originally wanted to say girl, but Zhang Lanxin's tall stature and mature appearance were actually a bit different from these two words.

And this girl’s kung fu is really amazing! Gu Zhongyu said before that he was a taekwondo athlete, and Fan Binbin thought he was the kind of person who showed off his skills and embroidered his legs. However, she was really frightened by the one-shot horse last night.

She, Fan Xiaopang, had also filmed many martial arts dramas in her early years, and she had some foundation in action, but those difficult actions were impossible even if her legs were broken. No wonder Gu Zhongyu liked her so much.

"Are you still hurting now?"

Zhang Lanxin shook her head. The pain last night was nothing. It was far different from when she practiced Taekwondo hard. She recovered after a night's sleep.

Fan Binbin nodded: "Come down with me for lunch, and then we go shopping to buy clothes. I tore all your clothes to pieces last night, so I have to compensate you for two pieces!"

"Thank you, Sister Bingbing!" Zhang Lanxin suddenly felt that Fan Binbin was not as difficult to get along with as rumored.

As Gu Zhongyu expected, Shen Teng did not hesitate for a long time. In just two days, he gave a decisive answer: Teng has been living for half his life, and he only regrets that he has never met his master. If he never abandons him, Teng is willing to be his adoptive father. !

Of course, what he said was not so "filial", but that's what he meant.

Gu Zhongyu was very happy. From now on, the company's comedy male lead would be found, and he immediately took him to find Zhou Xingxing.

Zhou Xingxing lives a homely life on weekdays. Unless he is working, he basically does not go out. Occasionally taking the dog for a walk or riding a bicycle is his biggest hobby.

When I contacted Zhou Xingxing, he was still sleeping at home in Yanjing and talking listlessly. But when he heard that Gu Zhongyu had found a new male lead in a movie and wanted to invite him over, he immediately became interested and made an appointment to meet at a teahouse.

"Mr. Gu, I heard that Mr. Xing has a bad temper. Is it true?" While waiting for someone, Shen Teng felt a little uneasy, fearing that others would look down on him.

"A bit, but don't worry, he only curses on the set and won't bring his work emotions into life... Hey, here comes the person."

While he was talking, Zhou Xingxing came over wearing a simple cotton coat, and he was not alone. He was followed by his "personal disciple" Lu Zhengyu.

This person is also quite talented. In the era when Internet short dramas were just emerging, he independently directed the popular sitcom "Hip Hop Quartet". The style is exactly the same as Zhou's comedy, and he also wrote, directed and starred in it.

Zhou Xingxing also admired his talent and specially recruited him into his team to serve as the screenwriter of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons". Later, he even gave him a special blessing at Lu Zhengyu's wedding. Zhou Xingxing, who had almost no social life, It is also extremely rare for stars.

After arriving, Zhou Xingxing looked at Shen Teng without a word of greeting, and asked directly: "Mr. Gu, is this the candidate you recommended to me?"

Shen Teng straightened up immediately after hearing this, with a formal look like a military parade.

"Yes, let me introduce you briefly. This is Mr. Shen Teng, who graduated from the PLA Academy of Arts and appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage this year. He is a drama actor and has worked as an actor, director, and screenwriter. I believe he can be competent for the role of Mr. Liu. What do you think, Director Zhou?"

Zhou Xingxing briefly glanced at Shen Teng's previous resume. He didn't care about appearing on the Spring Festival Gala, which had nothing to do with his movie. However, his drama background was a bit interesting, and his lines should be very good.

It's just that this person has always been acting in dramas or sketches, and has not acted in a famous film or TV series, which makes Zhou Xingxing not very satisfied.

It's not impossible to use an unknown newcomer, but it depends on whether he is qualified, so Zhou Xingxing wants to test Shen Teng's acting skills first.

Zhou Xingxing nodded slightly, and suddenly said seriously: "Since Mr. Gu thinks so highly of Mr. Shen, I will test him on the spot."

"Right here?"

This is just a semi-private room in a teahouse. The glass is transparent and not soundproof. People outside can see what is going on inside. Even if you want to audition, at least change to a more private place!

At this time, Lu Zhengyu came over to explain: "Master Xing means that it is easier to see an actor's true skills in such an emergency situation. I believe this should not be difficult for Mr. Shen, right?"

When Gu Zhongyu heard this, he was embarrassed to say anything. After all, he was a director, and it was completely reasonable to make this request.

"Then... please ask Master Xing for a question?" Shen Teng didn't think it was a big deal. After many years of drama career, improvisation was a piece of cake.

"Just perform a childbirth!"

Shen Teng looked at Zhou Xingxing's face full of expectation, and couldn't help feeling a little confused. He was stunned for a few seconds. He didn't expect that a man like him would perform the act of giving birth to a child. But he changed his mind and thought, since there was no physical performance, let's give it a try!

So Shen Teng took a deep breath and began to build up his emotions.

He closed his eyes tightly, frowned, as if he was enduring great pain, then he covered his stomach tightly with both hands, opened his mouth wide, and made exaggerated and weird groans.

His body was still shaking constantly, and every tremor was like experiencing a miracle of life.

Zhou Xingxing looked at Shen Teng's performance, and the corners of his mouth began to rise unconsciously. He rarely saw mainland actors use such a performance method, which was both funny and full of imagination. This person really has two brushes.

Gu Zhongyu on the side held back his smile and waited for Shen Teng's performance.

Finally, after a long and painful wait, Shen Teng let out a loud cry. His hands were raised high in the air, as if celebrating the birth of a life, and his face was full of a smile, full of a sense of accomplishment.

Then his body suddenly softened, and he fell to the ground with a "bang". The huge noise startled the waiters outside, and they ran over to ask what happened.

Shen Teng got up from the ground somewhat awkwardly. He looked at Zhou Xingxing and the waiters outside who were joining in the fun, and he was a little unsure whether his performance just now satisfied them.

Zhou Xingxing was quite satisfied with Shen Teng's performance. He felt that although it did not meet his perfect requirements, it was still acceptable.

"Thank you Director Zhou, thank you Mr. Gu, for giving me such an opportunity, I will definitely play this play well."

The big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. He was confident that the male lead in Xingye's movie was the starting point for Shen Teng's rise to fame. After he returned, he finally had the capital to show off to his wife and relatives.

The male lead has been decided, and the female lead and other actors, as well as the start time, naturally have to take this opportunity to finalize them together.

First of all, the heroine, the mermaid Shanshan, he definitely won't use the catfish spirit Lin Yun. Gu Zhongyu wants Da Tiantian to come, after all, she spent five million to buy him to write a script for her before, but he didn't say it must be written on the spot. This time, "The Mermaid" invited her to come, she must be very happy!

The role of Li Ruolan may still have to be Zhang Yuqi, Zhou Xingxing also specifically asked for her. Although this sister is troublesome and has a bad temper, her appearance is indeed impeccable, and she is the most suitable to play the charming Li Ruolan.

For the role of Octopus, don't bother Mr. Luo, the time management master. He has extreme challenges during the day and at night, which is already very hard.

This guy is comparable to Gu Zhongyu, but he doesn't like to play multiplayer games. Just play, at least there will be no second male except him.

So Octopus wants Snake, oh no Zhang Wei... Li Jiaxing to come, and he doesn't have to do anything. It's quite funny to just stand there.

Although Gu Zhongyu himself is not starring, he also plans to make a cameo appearance. Needless to say, the well-trained policeman who never laughs is his.

The actors have been confirmed, and Zhou Xingxing has no objection. It will start filming next year, and then they will talk about some details about the filming of the movie.

When talking about this, Zhou Xingxing suddenly had an idea to use a 3D camera to shoot the whole process and make "The Mermaid" the first domestic 3D comedy.

For this idea, Gu Zhongyu's meaning is very clear: it's a complete waste!

Since the 3D of "Avatar" became popular all over the world, in the face of the new technological revolution, domestic filmmakers naturally did not want to lag behind and invested in 3D creation.

From "Once Upon a Time" to "Dragon Gate Flying Daggers" and "Havoc in Heaven", the pace of domestic film creation can be said to keep pace with the times.

However, the size of the face is as big as the eyes, and domestic 3D movies are just a joke!

80% of the shots in "Avatar" are 3D stereoscopic effects, while in China, as long as a few 3D clips are inserted into the film, it can be regarded as a 3D film, resulting in the whole film from beginning to end, only the subtitles are the most 3D effect.

Of course, this is not the patent of domestic 3D movies. Many American 3D blockbusters after "Avatar" also have these problems. Most films only have a few scenes with a sense of depth and immersive feeling.

A large number of real-life scenes in "Transformers 3" do not have much stereoscopic sense, and the action scenes with strong dynamics and fast editing are also easy to dazzle the audience.

In addition, many films do not handle 3D images properly. After wearing stereo glasses, the images become dark and the colors are seriously distorted. These have seriously affected the audience's expectations and enthusiasm for 3D movies.

So when filming "Ball Lightning", Gu Zhongyu and Guo Fan did not think of using 3D as a gimmick, and the previous "The Wandering Earth 2" did not use 3D technology.

In addition to deceiving the audience who don't know the business, for the movie itself, 3D technology has no benefit at all. If 80% of the shots are made into 3D effects like "Avatar", the cost will be directly high to the sky, and at least it will increase the production cost by hundreds of millions of dollars!

So Gu Zhongyu tried his best to dispel Zhou Xingxing's idea of ​​making a 3D movie. Unless you, the director, are willing to pay for it out of your own pocket, otherwise, as the sponsor, I will definitely not be the sucker.

Zhou Xingxing shrugged. He just had a flash of inspiration. Since it is useless, forget it.

After being busy for most of the day, the filming plan of "The Mermaid" was finally finalized. Zhou Xingxing will start preparing when he returns. Otherwise, Gu Zhongyu would never want to be a director!

The film has not started shooting yet, but he has to do the pre-production preparations. He can't rest for a moment during the shooting. After the shooting, he has to focus on the editing, post-production, special effects and soundtrack. He is as busy as a dog. If Gu Zhongyu does this, how can he have time to chat with the ladies!

Thinking of this, I didn't feel very satisfied with the competition with Zhang Lanxin last night. I have to continue after I go back tonight to see where the limit of this sister's flexibility is!

Thanks to ぁ月ぜ for the 410-point reward. Thank you, big brother
