I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 1082 1077 The one who made his heart surge

Chapter 1082 1077. The one who makes his heart surge

"Hey, you kid..."

The famous swordsman in the world was immediately unhappy when he saw his precious sea willow pipe being snatched away by his apprentice.

At this moment, his cheeks were rosy and his eyes were slightly bloodshot.

With his fluttering beard, he looked like a master.

Unfortunately, a thief stole the pipe.

As for Yang Mi, she skillfully smoked the tobacco from her pipe into the pile of cow bones on the table. With a "quacking" sound, she poured another sip of tea.

With a sizzling sound, only black ash remained in the fireworks.

"Okay, are you still smoking? The doctor has told you to stop smoking. You've already drunk half a catty of wine and you still smoke? Are you risking your life?"

"..."

The old man's facial muscles twitched.

The heart says you are the master and I am the master?

But in the final analysis... I didn't dare to say anything harsh, so I could only beg and say:

"Then I won't smoke anymore, can you give me the pipe? I'm smacking it too hard, and it'll break if I try again!"

"It's good to break it, quit smoking!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, the sword master immediately wanted to strike his disciple's head with Sword Twenty-Three.

But I couldn’t bear to part with it.

In the end, I could only blow my beard and stare.

It's a pity that the apprentice can't get enough.

He simply glared at Xu Xin:

"I won't be a martial arts instructor for your movies anymore."

"It's useless for you to tell me."

Xu Xin looked innocent:

"I dare to mess with her? I have to tear her bones apart."

"Is that okay? You have to take care of her!"

"Why don't you care?"

"I……"

In the end, the director, screenwriter, and martial arts instructor of "The Master" were all stunned.

No one spoke.

In fact, it was not Xu Xin's idea to find the old man as a martial arts instructor, but Lao Xu's.

In "Japanese Pirates" and "Liu Baiyuan", the old man gave guidance. And under his guidance...perhaps his style is very amateurish for professional martial arts instructors such as Yuan Jia Ban and Cheng Jia Ban.

There is no other reason.

It doesn’t look good.

It's the real thing, but it doesn't look good.

If something doesn’t look good, its beauty won’t be highlighted in the movie.

It may even give people a sense of deja vu as if they were playing house.

But... the style of the film "Master" itself is realistic.

Xu Xin doesn't want to be too realistic and makes it look like "Japanese Pirates". The battle between the two looks... it's really awkward.

But "realism" is the foundation.

He wanted to use the understanding of real martial arts by the old man and old Xu, combined with several other professional martial arts fingers, to evolve into a... brand new style.

Today is not so much a gathering of masters and apprentices as it is a meeting of the crew and creators.

Let’s chat about ideas and stories.

Touch it.

Then, if nothing else happens, when Cannes comes back, the film will enter the practical stage.

There are not many sub-scenes in this film, and the scale is not very large.

And it’s not difficult to talk about.

As long as the director can grasp the core of the script and create a martial arts world, it will be relatively easy to film.

Xu Xin estimates... if the progress is fast, the filming will definitely be completed before August. Coupled with post-production and other production, it should be completed in the first half of 2015.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

It's almost time.

The couple prepared to say goodbye.

The next preparation work will be taken over by Xiying Studio.

After the casting team was formed, Lao Xu and Mr. Yu were also among them.

They were responsible for the "audition", including recommended Song Yang. After several rounds of screening, after Cannes was over, Xu Xin finally took over.

In fact, it is getting easier and easier for Xu Xin to prepare movies now.

He proposes projects and establishes them.

The rest is none of his business.

There will be dedicated personnel responsible for the service, venue, etc. Go through the eyes of these industry talents first.

Screen out the good ones and show them to him one last time.

The days of doing everything by yourself... are gone forever.

"Master, let's go."

"Um."

"Stop smoking, do you hear me?"

"You are the master and I am the master?"

"Hey, you old man, why are you disobedient? I'll send you to a nursing home!!"

"Hurry up and find me a bunch of old ladies to dance in the square."

"I thought you would teach them Tai Chi."

"Get out!"

"Hahahaha……"

Amid laughter, the younger generation said goodbye.

Sun Ting drove and Yang Mi sat in the passenger seat.

I knew they would drink today, so Lao Xu and Xu Xin, who didn't drive, sat in the middle.

This drink... was quite enjoyable.

It's just that the alcohol is a bit strong.

Xu Xinlong drank two drinks in total, and now he was feeling a little in high spirits.

"Xiao Xu."

"Um?"

"I plan to send "Liu Bai Yuan" to Venice. If it can be selected..."

"Um."

Xu Xin understood before Lao Xu finished speaking.

"After Venice is over, just submit the normal registration procedures to the theater chain."

"good."

With his words, Lao Xu felt confident.

"belch."

Xu Xin burped and took a deep breath.

This medicinal wine... you really can't drink too much.

He really couldn't stand it.

At this moment, I feel hot all over my body.

And alcohol speeds up not only the blood, but also the thinking speed of the brain.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly said:

"Tingting, please reveal the prototype of the script. Give everyone more time to prepare."

Sun Ting, who was driving, nodded:

"Okay, Brother Xu."

then.

The news that [Xu Xin's new work is the short story "Master" written by director Xu Haofeng] spread throughout the entertainment industry again in late April.

That night, the entry #Xu Haofeng《Master》# became a hot search topic.

…

In fact, for people in the film and television industry, great directors are like dragons flying in the sky.

They may not be able to see them all the time.

But when the dragon passes by, the clouds and rain fall, and the sweet rain that falls can nourish, grow, and warm the place.

Of course, this is a more idealistic statement.

If we really think about it, directors are actually just tools in the hands of management sometimes.

But then again.

Some directors are tool people.

But some directors... are like real dragons. Wherever it is, there is the next place for rebirth.

To others, the newly crowned Oscar-winning foreign-language film director is just that.

The dragon falls in Tianjin.

"Master" is a broad road leading to the highest level.

Since the original novel "Master" was revealed, the entire film and television industry has become lively.

And Xiying Studio moved very quickly.

On the 24th, the casting team has been formed.

This is a casting team of 12 people, including 4 casting directors, the original "Master", Juggernaut, one of the martial arts instructors, and a professional team including photographer Lin Li.

That's a bit exaggerated.

Being able to get impression points from this 12-person team already represents the excellence of the participants.

After forming the casting team, the crew of "Master" announced at the same time.

On April 30, the first round of auditions will be held at the Yanjing office of Xiying Film Studio.

Any actor who meets the eligibility criteria can apply.

And a list of characters is given.

There are actually no changes in the characters, but the interesting part is the audition requirements.

The first and most important one is: members of the Actors Club of the "Art Creation Center".

As soon as this news came out, I don’t know how many people started to curse, thinking that Xiying Studio looked ugly...

What the hell is this about casting an actor?

Is this not military service?

Recruiting troops?

Moreover, it is very clear from the audition qualification notice announced by Xiying Group that if you are not a member of the Actors Club of the Art Center, it doesn’t matter.

See the link below?

Click, fill in the information, submit the application, and that’s it.

I submitted it one second ago, and a web page pops up the next second: [Congratulations on becoming a member of the Actors Club, membership number NO]

That really highlights a 0 threshold.

Click to send.

Firstly, it doesn’t require you to submit a certificate, secondly, it doesn’t require you to pay membership fees, and thirdly, it doesn’t require your identity and background.

You fill in the information normally.

After agreeing to fulfill the obligations and terms of service and submitting... Congratulations, we will be a family from now on.

At first glance, it seems ridiculous.

Although Xiying Studio has been recruiting people over the years, no matter what... not just any cat or dog can get in, right?

Why are your most important basic external windows, the three major mountain ranges of the art and creative center, suddenly so worthless?

Don't say the threshold is too low... just don't forget it.

But in fact, anyone who really knows the industry can understand how "dirty" this trick of Xiying Studio is.

In the Art Creation Center, the threshold for directors and screenwriters clubs is actually not very high.

But the cast is clearly the lowest.

Why?

Because there is an actor troupe above the Actors Club.

Zhang Yi, Liang Binning, Yang Mi, Liu Yifei... these people are all members of the actor troupe.

As far as actors are concerned, this Western Film Actors Group is the core of the entire northwest circle.

These people are the ones who can truly reach the sky in one step and get all the resources.

The Actors Club is like the reserve force of the actor troupe.

It can continuously attract good talents who are interested in casting for the actor troupe to select.

It's a bit like the difference between inner disciples and outer disciples in immortality novels.

The inner sect wants disciples with strength and talent, but what about the outer sect? Its threshold is not high.

If you want to come, you can come.

What's more, the club doesn't force you to perform any plays, or you have to make a separation with these forces, whether it's the Beijing Circle or other companies.

Not required.

But... you entered the "outer door", at least our relationship is naturally closer.

There will be more opportunities for everyone to cooperate in the future.

To put it bluntly, Xiying Studio played a trick of "nepotism" in front of everyone.

We are all descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties. Regardless of whether our blood relationship is within the five realms, as long as we are from the Celestial Dynasty, then we are "one of our own."

This is what they mean.

It has also successfully attracted a large number of members.

And these members who come in with zero threshold do not need to have any sense of belonging to the Northwest Circle... No need.

Even if everyone doesn't know each other, as long as there is this relationship, it will be fine.

We have to be happy, in the future.

And what will happen in the future...who knows? right?

Therefore, in the eyes of others, this move of Xiying Studio was very dirty.

But, underneath the "dirty", there is an out-and-out conspiracy.

Surprisingly clean.

As for the inside of the factory...

Anyway, according to Qi Lei, he really saw a lot of "old friends" joining in.

My heart blossomed with joy.

But the surface remains calm.

Make friends.

Cast the net wide and catch more fish.

If you don’t need it this time, you won’t be able to tell next time.

…

"Jellybean, jellybean, look, daddy is back!"

In an ordinary residential building in Yanjing, a very beautiful young woman held a baby in her arms who looked to be only one year old at most, and opened the door with a smile.

A man who looked more handsome and darker than ordinary people was welcomed in.

"Baby~ Ouch, let daddy come and give me a hug."

Men.

After running around for a day, I can see my wife and children when I come home, plus the smell of food wafting from the kitchen...

Nothing warms the soul more than this moment.

He picked up his daughter who was babbling and learning to speak. He couldn't help but get closer to her chubby face and kissed her hard:

"MUA!!!"

The little girl giggled at the kiss.

Then I heard the child’s mother ask:

"How was the audition?"

"have no idea……"

This man who looked to be in his twenties shook his head:

"I said that I designed the actions myself, and the director didn't need them at all. They had already found a stand-in, so I just had to do a few blows and make up a few faces... I didn't have any advantages."

After hearing what her lover said, the woman did not complain, but encouraged:

"It doesn't matter, there will be another time..."

"Ok, I know."

As he spoke, he held his daughter with one hand and took out a stack of manuscripts from his satchel with the other hand.

"I'm going to give this a try. "Master," Director Xu's new movie."

When the woman heard this, her eyes lit up:

"I was just about to tell you. I read this novel this afternoon, and I feel... it's quite suitable for you."

"Yeah. Audition on the 30th...it's only a few days away. You've been working hard these days, so don't worry about me."

"good."

Both of them are actors, and they both know that preparing for a role requires time, environment, and state.

"Can I help you fill out the form in a moment? I saw they said that you have to join the Art Creation Center in order to qualify for the audition... We were still talking in several groups this afternoon. It felt like Xiying Studio was more like pulling people's heads. "

"It shouldn't be that big of a deal... let's give it a try, there's no other choice anyway."

The man said, holding his daughter and sitting on the sofa.

He said to his daughter’s innocent eyes:

"What's more, this is Director Xu's play. I think... he is definitely different from others... don't you think so, Tangdou Tangdou~~~"

The little child in his arms showed a cute smile.

…

"Ah~~Brother Lu, it's so difficult to understand!"

on the bed.

The girl rolled over with pain on her face. She held up the phone and looked at the manuscript papers scattered in front of her. Her eyes were full of helplessness.

"What's going on... What Tianjin's apprentice... is going to be kicked out of Tianjin... What else is there to beat 8 martial arts schools, but the ninth one can't be beaten... Ah!!! Why are they all in Chinese characters, he wrote me I can’t understand it at all!”

"Haha~"

Lu Han's helpless laughter came from the phone:

"This novel is quite difficult to understand. It's very realistic. It's full of human emotions and sophistication. It's normal that you can't understand it."

Hearing this, Guan Xiaotong became even more helpless:

"But if I can't read the story, won't I be able to audition?"

"...Do you really want to go?"

Lu Han's voice was full of surprise:

"Did you tell the others?"

"No, but I'm already a member of the club!"

"..."

Lu Hanxin said, "Aren't you fooling around?"

"What if others find out that you auditioned for Director Xu's play? Can you please stop fooling around?"

"I'm not kidding, I asked Sister Mi."

"……asked?"

"Yes, I asked. Sister Mi said you can come if you want. As long as it doesn't delay your studies, it'll be fine."

"...Sister Mi really said that?"

"yes."

"Well……"

After Lu Han was silent for a while, he said:

"Then you can't go either."

"Why?"

"Because...it's easy to say, but it doesn't look good. Think about it, you are still a child..."

"I'm not a child!"

This sentence seemed to hit the girl's back.

She's a little horny.

"We made an agreement, you don't treat me like a child! You're like this... I'm really angry when you're like this!"

"Yes, yes... I'm wrong, isn't it okay?"

Lu Han's voice was a little helpless.

"But having said that, although no one will really care about you. But... it is never good to cause trouble to others."

"I understand what you mean, but it's okay. You don't know yet... Even the uncle's attitude towards Director Xu is not so resistant anymore. After I sent the script to Director Xu last time, Director Xu gave me a lot of suggestions. The uncle himself said that Director Xu is a character..."

"Well……"

Lu Han really took a long time to digest it before he understood something from the girl's words.

but……

"I still don't recommend you go. Others are others, and you are you. First, you can't understand this story. It's so difficult, and you may not be able to interpret it well. Second... even if the relationship between Director Feng and Director Xu eases. Yes, but outsiders don’t know. If you are used for hype, aren’t you being used as a weapon?”

"I don't!"

"..."

Lu Han was speechless.

But the girl still acted coquettishly:

"Brother Lu~~~~ No! I'm going! Not only am I going... I also want you to go with me, okay? You come with me?"

"What!?"

Lu Han's tone also started to get higher.

"You want to die and you want to drag me with you?"

"Hey, it's not as exaggerated as you said! At worst... let's go join in the fun, right? Maybe you are suitable for the role of Geng Liangchen. And... don't you also want to be an actor? That was Director Xu's audition. , are you sure you don’t want to go and take a look?”

"..."

This time, Lu Han was silent.

After a while, he couldn't help but ask:

"Are you sure Director Xu will go?"

"Absolutely. Sister Mi is going, how could Director Xu not go?"

"this……"

"Hehehe, shall we meet on the 30th?"

The girl smiled brightly and extended the invitation.

…

"The hard work is over."

"Wang Youliang is going to perform a special mission."

In the picture, Master Wang Youliang, who is repairing cultural relics in the Forbidden City, is riding an electric bicycle towards the outside of the Forbidden City.

After Nazha finished narrating, she heard herself asking in the earphones:

"Smoking is not allowed in the Forbidden City, right?"

"right."

Under the camera, Wang Youliang was still a little embarrassed. He was standing in front of a trash can with an ashtray outside the Forbidden City, holding a cigarette and looking at the girl:

"The entire Forbidden City is not allowed to smoke, but now it is becoming more and more strict. In the past, smoking was allowed, and the old masters also followed the rules. When working outside, they would use a broken basin, pour some water into it, and then work after the smoking... …”

With a cigarette, the shooting ended.

In the final fixed shot, Master Wang Youliang rides a battery car back to the Forbidden City.

"Okay, that's enough, Nazha."

Ye Jun's voice sounded from the earphones at the right time.

Naza nodded.

This means that the narration that everyone filmed has ended.

She took off her headphones, pulled her hair, stood up and left the dubbing room.

The first thing I said after coming out was:

"This paragraph actually feels a bit delayed. I think the key point we should highlight is that the master chefs will abide by the rules and regulations related to the Forbidden City even if they have personal habits. Therefore, some of what Master Wang said can be cut out, and the previous master chefs can be retained Just use the broken pot to smoke. Then he finishes smoking, turns around, and goes back to his busy work... Will the rhythm of the film be more concise? "

There were several people outside the house, including the sound engineer.

After hearing her words, Ye Jun thought for a while and nodded slightly:

"That makes sense. Then go through what Nazha said and let's cut it... Nazha, sit down for a while and see if it doesn't work and then try to mend it again."

"good."

The girl responded and sat on a chair nearby.

On the table in front of her was her bag. She took out a document from the bag and continued to read it.

After about a few seconds, a boy came over.

His name is Zhang Linfan, he is also a member of the project team of "Cultural Relics Renovation in the Forbidden City", and he is one of several people who are following up to take pictures.

"Nazha, here it is. This is coffee. I see some bloodshot eyes in your eyes. Did you not get enough rest? ...This is juice to soothe your throat."

"Thank you, Brother Fan."

Nazha had the right polite smile on her face.

"it's okay no problem."

Zhang Linfan shook his head with a smile and continued:

"Is it difficult to open your nails? Let me open them for you..."

With two rattling sounds, the two cans were opened and placed in front of her.

But Nazha didn't drink it, but put it aside.

Continue to look down at the information in front of you.

Seeing this, Zhang Linfan came a little closer and continued to talk:

"What are you looking at?"

""Master"."

Nazha said without raising her head.

Zhang Linfan was stunned and subconsciously said:

"That movie Director Xu is going to make?"

"Um."

"...Are you going to audition?"

"Yes."

Although she lowered her head, after answering these few sentences, Nazha still had a trace of impatience in her eyes...

She needs an environment that is immersive enough.

But the other party kept talking to her, making her unable to calm down.

Just when she was about to tell the other person that she needed some personal space, her phone suddenly vibrated.

After taking a look at it, she stood up and picked up the still warm coffee.

Although it’s almost May, it’s okay to drink some hot drinks.

"I'm going out for a while. Thanks for the coffee~"

She gave a small smile.

A can of coffee, in exchange for a smile from the goddess.

For Zhang Linfan, it must be worth it.

All the way out of the recording studio.

As soon as she walked out, she met several students passing by.

After seeing Nazha, several people quickly said hello:

"Hello, senior sister."

"Hello, Senior Sister Nazha."

"Hmm, hello."

Nazha smiled and nodded, walking in the opposite direction with these people.

The same thing happened in exchange for the looks of those juniors turning back three times every step of the way.

After going all the way downstairs and arriving at the flower bed next to the door, the girl dialed a number in the bright midday sunshine of the Beijing Film Academy:

"Sister, are you looking for me?"

"Well, what are you doing?"

"I'm busy with the dubbing of documentaries."

"in school?"

"right."

"Okay, how do you like the story?"

"Hehe... I almost memorized it. Do you believe it?"

A bright smile appeared on the girl's face just right:

"I haven't been busy with anything else during this period, either novels or scripts. I'm always reading."

"Hmm...have you not shown the script to anyone else?"

"No. I keep them on my phone and don't show them to anyone."

"That's fine. I'm here to inform you that on the 30th, you don't have to prepare anything when you come over. You can just go through the audition process normally. The casting team has already finished greetings, and you will definitely pass the audition. By then When Brother Xu comes back from Cannes, you can come directly to the second round...that’s when the real battle begins, do you understand?”

After hearing Sun Ting's words, the girl's expression became formal:

"Yeah, I understand..."

"I know you understand. I don't mean anything else by calling you. Don't be so stressed. Although there are many people who signed up this time, from my perspective, there are not many people who fit the role of Tea Soup Girl. As long as you can Grasp the essence, and according to Brother Xu’s temper, the chance of choosing you will definitely be higher among the same level. Just relax and perform well.”

"OK!"

Nazha responded forcefully:

"I understand! Sister, don't worry, I will definitely work hard!"

"Yeah. There's nothing else to do. I'm hanging up."

"OK."

Toot.

The phone hangs up.

The girl's sneakers stepped on the edge of the flower bed, maintaining a frozen posture... as if she was thinking about something.

After a while, she came back to her senses and suddenly took a deep breath...

After so many years...

Finally got the chance to join Brother Xu’s crew.

Rather than just a simple guest appearance like in the previous "33 Days".
