I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 1028 1023. Just a scene

The pitiable thing about pathetic people is that...sometimes the spring breeze is triumphant, but they don't know that under the bright and smooth road ahead, the foundation has already rotted and festered.

What's even more sad is that they don't even know how it rotted and fester.

After everything was concluded, Yang Mi seemed to have just done a trivial thing. After finishing the meal, she didn't care about anything else.

Sun Ting should take care of herself.

She picked up the script and became a quiet beautiful girl.

Bracket: young woman version.

After Sun Ting packed up the takeout boxes, she was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, she checked the real estate situation in YC City, Jiangsu.

As for why Jiangsu was added...that's what my sister said, don't say anything that doesn't unite.

Thirteen Taibao will always be an integral part of Jiangsu!

They are strangers who are as close as family.

After some research, I found that housing prices in Yancheng are really not expensive.

The average house price in 12 years was just over 4,900.

Some moderate lots only cost seven or eight thousand.

She didn't envy the benefits Sister Mi gave Orange... Orange had really done a lot in these years.

Yang Ying was not on guard against her, and as an assistant, the other party would take her with him wherever he went out. She can give timely feedback to the company about whom she meets and what she talks about.

To put it bluntly, he is very qualified as an undercover agent.

Loyal to the community.

The reward must be rewarded.

And every time she dealt with these things, she would always think of Uncle Xu.

His words...are really life mottos.

Let your subordinates make money, and others will not betray you.

But don't let them hold too much money, otherwise they will betray you at any time.

Therefore, I rarely give cash rewards. Instead, I give some praises and things that are related to money but are particularly practical.

For example, real estate...

A property in the other party's hometown costs three to five million, but it can definitely prevent a fire in the backyard.

Tsk…

Uncle Xu is really awesome.

With a sigh, she summarized some real estate information, average prices and other information and sent it to Yang Mi's mobile phone.

It's now past 9 o'clock.

Then she stood up and said:

"Sister, I have almost figured out some real estate conditions in Yancheng and sent them to your mobile phone. Shall I go back and rest?"

"Um."

Yang Mi responded without raising her head.

But he immediately remembered something, raised his head and said:

"Tingting, do you want to eat popsicles?"

"?"

Sun Ting was stunned.

Just listen to her continue:

"How about two popsicles? I want the old popsicles, and I want the creamy ones."

"OK."

Sun Ting nodded, took her cell phone and walked out of the house.

There are many hotels with fewer people.

She went all the way downstairs, and after walking out of the hotel, she bought herself a chocolate chip, several flavors of ice cream, and two cream popsicles that her sister had specially asked for, and walked back with a bagful of them.

As soon as I walked to the concierge desk, I saw a familiar business car.

The car door opens.

Orange got out of the car first, then turned around and walked out with Yang Ying, who looked a little drunk.

Sun Ting was stunned for a moment and quickly said hello:

"Sister baby?"

Upon hearing the greeting, Yang Ying, who had blushing cheeks, turned his head and was stunned when he saw Sun Ting.

Then he said with a smile:

"Hello Tingting...what did you buy?"

"Uh... ice cream."

As soon as Sun Ting finished answering, Yang Ying's eyes lit up:

"What flavor?"

She has said this, what can Sun Ting say? Then he opened the plastic bag and said:

"Sister baby, here it is."

Yang Ying, who must have drunk a lot, moved his head closer to take a look, and took out a cream popsicle:

"I'll just eat this one. Hehe..."

The corner of Sun Ting's mouth twitched, but she didn't say anything and continued to ask:

"Oranges, do you want to eat them?"

"I won't eat it."

Zhou Ju quickly shook his head.

Then, the three of them went into the hotel together.

Sun Ting asked "casually":

"Sister, how much have you drunk?"

"Not much, less than half a catty, and I drank some red wine. Haha~"

"This is... amazing."

"Hahaha……"

Under the increasingly weird expression on Orange's face, Yang Ying walked into the elevator with a smile.

Soon, the floor arrived and the three of them walked out together.

Yang Mi's suite is the largest in the crew, located at the end of the floor. After Sun Ting watched Yang Ying and Juzi enter the room, she took the room card and opened Yang Mi's door.

After closing the door he said:

"Sister, I just met baby sister downstairs."

Yang Mi, who was reading the script, raised her head.

Sun Ting continued:

"She drank a lot, as she said, half a catty of white wine and some red wine. She was very drunk."

Yang Mi nodded with a normal expression:

"Um."

Then he took the ice cream bag handed over by Sun Ting, flipped it over twice, and said in confusion:

"Why is it just a creamy one?"

She was used to eating ice cream two at a time, but one was not enough.

There's no way Tingting doesn't know this.

Then I heard something:

"Just now you saw me holding a plastic bag for ice cream. Sister Baby picked through it and took one..."

At this time, Yang Mi's eyebrows rose.

Grandma is so stupid, how can she be so unreasonable!

You dare to steal my ice cream! ?

"Tell Jiaojiao tomorrow and let her go to Yuntu to report! Ask Xu Zhi how many endorsements he is currently dealing with, and ask Xu Zhi to get them for her!"

If you are not dedicated, at best I will cut off your future.

Are you taking my ice cream?

Okay.

You dare to touch the tiger’s butt! ?

You must be treated!

…

No matter what happened this night, the sun would still rise the next day.

For Yang Mi, this day was a very peaceful day.

She read the script in the morning, and in the afternoon Sang Lin designed the actions. She and Zhang Zhen went to the practice room again.

The two practiced all afternoon, and after becoming thoroughly familiar with the three sets of designed movements, the time came for the evening.

Then……

A night of silence.

September 8th.

The fourth day of the eighth lunar month.

No taboos.

Sunday is a good day to start.

After the crew of "Xiu Chun Knife" held a lively start-up ceremony, the yellow frame burned into the sky, which represented the official start of the crew's work.

Lu Yang's way of directing dramas was actually led by Xu Xin.

So Yang Mi could see a very familiar shadow on him.

Although he had to focus on filming his own scenes first, he took his time and picked up some relaxing scenes to shoot on the first day.

Such as rushing.

For example, meet and greet each other.

For the whole morning, Yang Mi was a spectator.

But others can improve their condition by warming up little by little through this trivial lens.

For example, the scene between Lei Jiayin and Shen Lian.

The two of them bumped into each other at first, but after a few scenes, the camera feeling has been found.

For Yang Mi and Zhang Yi, the two best men and women of the Golden Bear, these scenes actually have no pressure.

This script is not the kind of story that requires particularly in-depth interpretation.

Although the two of them sat together and waited for each other in the morning, they were both busy with their own business and no one said a word.

We are strangers.

But everyone knows that these two people have their own way of finding status, so no one bothers them.

In this way, in the morning, we shot four or five scenes that may be included in the movie, which only add up to two or three minutes. In the afternoon, the crew came to the rented inn and teahouse.

This scene is between Yang Mi and Zhang Zhen.

The story is about Ding Baiying asking Shen Lian to burn the records of Jinyiwei. Shen Lian discovered the roster of the treasure ship construction. After realizing that the treasure ship had been tampered with, he thought that the group of forces behind Ding Baiying came here just for this book.

After attending the appointment, he wanted to see Beizhai, but Ding Baiying wanted to kill Shen Lian directly.

Shen Lian understood that Beizhai and Ding Baiying were in the same group, and now that the archives were burned down, Ding Baiying was about to destroy his body.

So he pointed out that the book had not been burned. If he died, the treasure ship list would automatically be sent to Jin Yiwei.

Ding Baiying threw herself into a trap and finally chose to let Shen Lian go.

Before filming started, Lu Yang came to Yang Mi and Zhang Zhen as usual.

I looked at Yang Mi...

I looked at Zhang Zhen again...

He weighed it and found Zhang Zhen directly:

"Brother Zhen, let me talk about drama with you."

Zhang Zhen nodded.

"After Shen Lian and Ding Baiying met, they were always in a state of tension. It seemed that they were about to get angry and hurt someone the next second..."

Yang Mi, who had finished putting on makeup and dressed in ancient style, turned a deaf ear.

At this moment, the crew hadn't even cleared out, and the weather was hot, so the two of them were sitting near these tables in the inn.

Zhang Zhen was sitting very casually, but Yang Mi was sitting like a majestic sword.

The back is very straight.

His eyes were half-closed... He seemed to be resting and at peace.

But from the moment she sat down, she never moved again.

After waiting for a while, Lu Yang and Zhang Zhen had almost communicated and turned to look at Yang Mi.

First, he looked at the other person's posture, which was like sitting like a clock, and then at her makeup and the vague aura she felt.

After thinking for a while, he moved to the side.

Unlike Zhang Zhen's detailed communication, he said directly:

"Sister Mi, you two will perform a scene for a while. If there is anything wrong, we will discuss it later. You can do what you want."

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi slowly opened her eyelids from drooping, glanced at him, and said:

"Then get me a tea bowl. When filming starts, you tell Li Yuan and the others that I will put down the tea bowl and they will come out."

"OK."

Lu Yang agreed very happily:

"what else?"

Yang Mi thought for a while and said:

"My thoughts are this..."

She lowered her voice a little.

There are other people in the crew busy at the moment.

Although she has her own ideas, she must avoid people. Otherwise, when other people see Lu Yang obeying his words, they will inevitably have the idea that "this director is not very good".

So, she had to whisper.

But their ideas do not actually conflict.

She has her own ideas, and Lu Yang has Lu Yang's.

In fact, she also knew that she was acting like a domineering person by doing this.

But... drama tyrant has never been a derogatory term.

It can only be said that she has some higher-than-standard requirements for the role she is interpreting now.

The director has a concept of the story and Yang Mi has also been trained by Xu Xin in the past few years, which gives her an extra sense of space when analyzing characters and even scenes than a simple actor.

How to make this scene look good and how to perform it to meet the requirements of "Xu Xin" in my mind.

This is her idea.

It has nothing to do with Lu Yang.

When the filming is finished, it will be up to the director to make his or her own decisions.

If your own is good, then use your own. If the director thinks it's not good, she can act however she wants.

At least she can still communicate with those real unreasonable drama bullies.

She has never had the so-called idea of ​​being above the director.

So, the two of them whispered.

After finishing muttering, Lu Yang went to Zhang Zhen to mutter again.

Then came the notification to the other actors.

After a busy circle, everyone gathered in the inn, including Yang Ying, who had nothing to do in the morning.

Because there was filming on the first floor, everyone stayed mostly on the second floor, leaving the last bit of space on the first floor for the director and equipment such as monitors and cameras.

As for these crew members, some of them have worked with Yang Mi.

There was a lot of expectation in his eyes.

They have already seen Mimi's performance, so they are just looking forward to what kind of performance she will bring this time.

And those who saw Yang Mi and worked with her for the first time were completely curious.

So, while everyone was holding their breath, Lu Yang shouted out the news of clearing preparations, and Zhang Zhen, who was standing two steps away in front of Yang Mi, took a deep breath.

On the other hand, Yang Mi... was still sitting on the chair.

Keep your back straight.

He picked up the tea bowl casually.

She sat on the right side of the table, and the tea bowl was naturally on the right side of the table.

But she held it with her left hand.

His right hand seemed to be resting leisurely on the table.

But it was only half a finger away from the Qi family knife that was also placed on the table.

Obviously, if this scene is true, then no matter what Ding Baiying wants to do, he can touch his knife immediately.

"Tsk."

In front of the monitor, Lu Yang slapped his mouth.

thin.

But it's too thin.

If she hadn't said it just now, she wouldn't have noticed this detail.

With some satisfaction and expectation, he put on his headphones and shouted:

"All departments pay attention and prepare..."

"Three, two, one, ACTION!"

…

Ding Baiying sat on the chair.

The legs are opened and closed at a distance of one step.

This is simply unimaginable for women...especially for women in the Ming Dynasty when Cheng and Zhu Neo-Confucianism were in power.

But she still chose this sitting posture.

Keep your waist straight.

Shen Lian only needed to take one look to know that this woman with strong martial arts skills had never relaxed for a moment.

At the same time, his eyes quickly glanced at the table.

He saw that the other party seemed to be relaxed, but in fact he always kept his right hand ready to grab the handle of the knife at any time. The left hand holding the tea cup is just a disguise.

Including the eyes with low eyebrows like a Bodhisattva, seemingly without focus.

His orbital muscles twitched slightly.

At the same time, his eyes quickly looked down.

The distance...is a bit close.

And just as he was thinking about it, Ding Baiying, who was holding a tea cup, slowly spoke:

"I saw that fire."

The tone was calm, neither sad nor happy.

But Shen Lian went straight to the topic:

"Where's Hokusai?"

Ding Baiying did not answer.

There are no words.

She just lowered her head and blew on the tea leaves floating in the teacup. After taking a brief sip, she turned slightly sideways and placed the teacup on the table with her left hand.

And when she turned slightly sideways, seeing that she seemed to be placing a tea cup, but was actually in a posture that was most suitable for sitting and drawing the knife sideways, Shen Lian's right foot quickly took half a step back.

His body still remained in place, but his center of gravity and point of exertion had changed.

If Ding Baiying draws the sword at this time, the fastest move is to slash horizontally.

He was holding the sword with his left hand, and with his backhand, he couldn't resist the sword with his sword.

Therefore, he had to shift his focus to his right leg. If Ding Baiying drew the sword, he would concentrate all his strength on his right leg and take a step towards the left rear to increase the horizontal cutting distance of the Qi family sword.

From the time the two met, to now.

It seems unremarkable, but in fact it doesn't reveal any flaws to the other party...

In other words, Ding Baiying has no flaws.

However, after Shen Lian was careless at the beginning, he used his own thoughts to make up for this flaw.

At this moment, the two of them were back on the same starting line.

If you move, I will move.

If the enemy does not move, I will not move.

It’s all about the thoughts.

It's all a calculation.

But if not, then these flaws will kill you at that unknown second.

Although a sense of chilling has not yet appeared, it has begun to brew and spread in the dark.

An undercurrent is surging.

It goes on and on.

And just then...

"Ding."

After the tea cup was placed on the table, it made a crisp sound.

The sound was like a signal.

In all directions of Shen Lian, those seemingly busy boys looked fierce, holding egg knives, turning over tables and chairs, and surrounding him and Ding Baiying in the middle.

At this time, a dull voice sounded.

Shen Lian did not look back.

Because when he heard the voice, he knew that behind him stood Ding Tai, who wielded a mace and was a member of the side army.

But there was no unexpected look on his face, and he didn't even turn his head to glance.

He just kept his eyes on Ding Baiying.

Others are nothing to worry about.

The person in front of him was the person he feared the most.

Faced with this siege, it was obvious that the other party did not want to end well with him.

but……

It doesn't matter.

He is not a fool.

Staring at Ding Baiying, he asked word by word in this chilling atmosphere:

"Guo Zhen, were you silenced?"

She had always lowered her eyebrows like a Bodhisattva, without revealing any inner emotions. Even when people surrounded Shen Lian, the woman who seemed to have done an ordinary thing finally raised her drooped eyebrows.

There was a trace of surprise in his eyes.

Looking at her, Shen Lian continued:

"Unexpectedly, he served as the eunuch of the Imperial Palace. He tampered with the treasure ship and almost killed the emperor."

But Ding Baiying didn't seem to hear half of it, and still sat as still as a mountain.

But his eyelids drooped again, covering up all his inner emotions, and asked:

"What do you want?"

Shen Lian's eyes moved away from the other party's right hand and fell on her face:

"I have the treasure ship record in my hand. I can exchange it for Hokusai's girl."

Ding Baiying's hand holding the knife remained motionless.

The voice came from between the lips and teeth:

"The girl isn't here."

But after hearing this, Shen Lian seemed to have finally confirmed something. Looking at her, the vigilance in his tone gradually faded away.

"You and her are a gang of thieves. Since you can't make up your mind, let the master behind you come to see me."

"Zheng!"

Ding Baiying didn't know when she put her hand on the Qi's sword with a little force, and the sword was unsheathed an inch.

Following this movement, everyone surrounding Shen Lian turned into a posture ready to attack.

Behind him, the dull sound of the mace sounded again.

Killing intent permeates the air.

The smell of rust from the bodies of these frontier soldiers seemed to drown him.

Cold and stern, without any mercy.

But this time, there was no longer any fear on Shen Lian's face.

because……

He has determined the other party's intentions.

So he said directly:

"If I die, the book will be sent to the Zhenfu Department."

"..."

As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes fell on Ding Baiying.

As if waiting for her to make a decision.

But after hearing this, during this encounter, Shen Lian only showed vigilance and surprise when he guessed that there was another adult behind her. The rest of the time, he kept his eyebrows low, as if she was a woman who didn't care about anything. Finally he raised his eyes.

He gave Shen Lian a formal look.

Looking at the other person holding the pearl of wisdom in his hand...

She suddenly smiled.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a smile.

She was naturally beautiful, but her elegant outfit and the unreasonable Qi family sword concealed her beauty.

It was as if she knew her own beauty, and her usual expressionless face was just a disguise.

And this disguise, in this smile...

Shine brightly.

Shining light into the humble room.

But……

Before people had time to appreciate this beauty, other colors appeared in the brilliance.

Compassion.

ridicule.

act recklessly.

No one understands why such a beautiful woman has such an expression at this moment.

But, it happened.

It was like a cloud appeared in the clear blue sky in the afternoon.

The shadow of the cloud silently enveloped Shen Lian's heart, who thought he had finally cleared away the clouds and seen the sun.

But this cloud leaves just as quickly as it comes.

The woman regained her appearance as Gujing Muha.

The pair of eyes full of emotions also closed again.

In the angry eyes of a group of Vajras, the Bodhisattva lowered his eyebrows.

"Zheng!"

Sheath the sword.

This time, her right hand moved to the tea cup.

He held the teacup smoothly and brought it to himself.

"Huh~"

Take a sip of the green tea and take a sip.

"Xiao Tai, see you off."

"Click! OK! Sister Mi! Beautiful!!!"

Lu Yang's voice echoed throughout the inn.

…

"Tsk."

Behind the director, Lei Jiayin, who was standing with Zhang Yi, smacked his lips.

This play...

It’s so damn enjoyable to watch!

This detail...

It’s full!

Director Lu is so awesome?

This scene design...

It’s so amazing!

Whether it's the close-up of Zhang Zhen retreating, or the details of the left and right hands moving back and forth, or even the expression on Teacher Yang Mi's face...

Absolutely amazing!

Really amazing!

It's like reading a textbook.

There was obviously no fighting scene, but just looking at the two of them, he got goosebumps.

How wonderful!

How did Director Lu figure it out?

The kind of tension and excitement that is filled with murderous intent in the dark, and it seems that as long as a spark falls on the explosive barrel, the place will be blown up... It is really addictive!

So cool! ! !

"It's really exciting, isn't it, Brother Yi?"

He couldn't help but said to Zhang Yi next to him.

As the Golden Bear Best Actor, Zhang Yi couldn't help but nod.

"Yeah, indeed."

An expert will know if there is one as soon as he takes action.

As an actor, he knew exactly what the scene was about.

First of all, I have to admire Director Lu’s design.

This sense of lens...

The creation of this kind of space atmosphere is indeed top-notch!

For a moment, he thought it was Director Xu sitting in front of the monitor.

Because this "smell" is too strong.

Director Xu likes this kind of tension of killing without blood and surging undercurrents.

That was the case when we were filming "Heart of the Sun".

I didn't feel it when I first started acting, but after watching the edited film... through the editing rhythm, the tension almost overflowed from the screen.

Director Xu is good at using these details to create an atmosphere.

This is true whether it is the details of the scene or the actions of the characters.

Director Lu is exactly the same as Director Xu!

This scene... is enjoyable even just watching it.

He really couldn't imagine what it would look like when Director Lu finished editing.

But for him, what is more intuitive is the resonance as an actor.

He saw this scene very clearly.

It was Sister Mi who led Zhang Zhenzai away.

In other words, the focus of this scene is not Zhang Zhen at all.

Zhang Zhen did say a lot of lines.

In contrast, Ding Baiying's poems are pitiful.

But...just these few lines are like a booster.

Every word Ding Baiying said led everyone to sprint towards the powder keg of murderous intent.

Full of emotions.

The atmosphere is perfect.

Not to mention the acting skills.

There is no open and closed expression.

Drink tea, put down the cup, draw the knife, put the knife away, raise your eyes, lower your eyebrows...

Just a few actions.

But everything is there!

At first glance, it looks unremarkable, but anyone who knows the business will know at a glance that the buns are really stuffed but not in the pleats.

It’s all in the stuffing.

This play...

It’s fun to watch!

It looks comfortable!

I feel ashamed of myself.

Berlin Film Queen...

She deserves it more than she does!

…

Yang Mi didn't know what others thought.

She just had a... comfortable feeling of relaxed muscles.

She was very familiar with this state.

It's her favorite working state.

Very comfortable.

There are even some things that are left unfinished.

But what is even more joyful is that after filming this scene, Ding Baiying has one less scene.

She is one step closer to returning home to the two little babies she gave birth to.

The mood is extremely comfortable.

However, she still looked at Lu Yang for the first time.

Although the director praised the performance of this part, he has not yet confirmed whether he will reshoot it according to his ideas.

Have to ask.

So, she walked over, looked at the excited director who was playing with the monitor and playing back the various camera shots he had just taken, and asked:

"Is this okay?"

"Okay! No problem at all!"

Lu Yang, who was almost excited with excitement in his eyes, nodded without thinking at all:

"Perfect among perfections! It's so spot on!"

"Would you like another one?"

After hearing her words, Lu Yang answered more simply:

"No, that's it! That's great!"

Now, Yang Mi felt at ease and nodded:

"Is it time for me to rest? The next step is the night's scene, right?"

"right."

"Okay. Call me if you need anything."

"Um!"

Lu Yang agreed, then watched Sister Mi leave and shouted to the others:

"Next step, shoot the scene where Hokusai peeks behind the door!"

At this moment, his heart could be summed up in only eight words.

Can’t wait!

Ambition and passion!

Sister Mi, this is absolutely spot on!

While the mood is arousing, add something quickly.

Strike while the iron is hot!

He was so excited...

But.

Just about ten minutes later, this excitement of striking while the iron was hot was wiped out as if it had encountered a basin of cold water.

Looking at Yang Ying with various exaggerated expressions in the camera, he scratched his head...

"Um???"
