I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 260 258 The mountain stands tall (33)

Chapter 260 258. Standing high on the mountain (33)

When meal time arrived, the people who were doing the cooking dispersed one after another.

When Gu Changwei walked out of the studio, his old partner Wang Quan'an, who was also one of the last few people in Xiying Studio who could make a difference, caught up with him:

"Lao Gu, you've been watching it all morning, how do you feel?"

The two have been friends for many years.

After adding that there was no one around at the moment, Gu Changwei thought for a while and asked:

"truth?"

"Sure."

"People say he looks like Yimou when he was young, but I think he looks more like Li An."

Gu Changwei shrugged:

"It's just that Li An likes to use line drawings, but he likes to use close-ups. But as far as the photography angle is concerned, it remains the same. He is very good at using the lens to tell stories, and his style has a murderous and murderous look that young people should have. Just... you feel it too, right? His shooting style..."

Wang Quanan nodded:

"It's so neat."

After speaking, he felt a little emotional:

"He really doesn't look like a young man in his early twenties... I saw that the shots taken in the morning were neat and tidy. But every idea was quite clear... Damn..."

For no reason, he cursed.

After hearing this, Gu Changwei patted him on the shoulder.

He knew why his friend was swearing.

To put it bluntly, it was just calculated.

Being plotted against by a conspiracy.

Lao Mouzi never gave up on his evil intentions. Even if he left Xiying Studio, he would always remember this piece of fat that many people thought was declining.

As a result, a little tiger was sent to him, and he gnawed a calf named Liang Binning as soon as he came up.

Coupled with the fate, "The Beginning of Spring", which he collaborated with his friends, hit the box office again.

So, here...it’s time to start the iteration of the country.

Regarding this point, he, who was born in 1957, takes it quite lightly.

At his age, he has already received everything he should take and earn. The status in the world has also been consolidated. It is not a crime to disobey the old and compete with a young man for the top spot.

Whether it is necessary or not is one thing, but whether it is necessary is another.

This young man... his background is not simple.

And looking at Wang Quanan's indignant look, he didn't need to say anything.

The two of them are not close partners of interest.

There is no need to say these words.

But Wang Quanan suddenly asked:

"Let's go? Find a place to have a drink and take a shower?"

Hearing this, Gu Changwei waved his hand:

"No."

He knew that his friend had a problem. He liked to do some fancy things after drinking.

He doesn't have to.

He has better ones.

…

"Dad, don't tell me... this is my first time at Xiying Studio."

At the entrance of Xiying Studio, Zhang Qianqian was waiting for the people inside to pick her up, while talking to a middle-aged man next to her who looked plain-looking.

"I brought you here when I was a kid."

After hearing this, the middle-aged man corrected his daughter:

"It was probably around 1980. You were still young. I brought you here to watch a movie, but you don't remember."

"Well, wasn't our family in Xi'an at that time?"

"Bring you here to play."

"Oh~~"

Zhang Qianqian nodded, and then saw Sun Ting walking this way from a distance.

She waved:

"Dad, that's Mimi's assistant."

"Um."

The middle-aged man responded and asked:

"The relationship between Sanjin and her is still that good?"

"It's like being alone."

"Did you talk about marriage?"

"No... I guess you want to be busy with your career first. It's not easy for me to ask about this."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man nodded, looked at Sun Ting who was getting closer, and said:

"This Guawazi is like a wild child without a home. When he came back to Xi'an, he refused to come to my house for a drink with me even after being asked. If my in-laws found out, they might think I was stingy."

"Hahaha, no way. You will know when you go and take a look... They are busy filming movies, so they really wake up early and stay late."

"...Oh, I didn't expect that."

The middle-aged man suddenly felt a little emotional:

"The kid that I was, has now become a famous director and has a promising future... He has grown up really fast."

Zhang Qianqian deeply agrees:

"It's true. When Sanjin grew up... it was as if he changed overnight. Didn't I tell you? When he came back in 2006, I still forgot the word "Aunt Xue" he called out. No. Even Sanshui told me privately that sometimes he felt like Sanjin was possessed by a demon..."

"What words!"

The middle-aged man glared at his daughter dissatisfied:

"Have you ever said that about your brother?"

"What Sanshui said, not me."

"Has he ever said that about his brother?"

"Teach him the next time you see him!"

While talking, Sun Ting had already ran over:

"sister in law!"

She called out a name first, and then looked at the middle-aged man.

Zhang Qianqian introduced with a smile:

"My dad, Zhang Hai."

Although the name was very ordinary, Sun Ting knew the origin of this person very well and quickly greeted him respectfully:

"Hello, Uncle Zhang."

The middle-aged man smiled kindly:

"Well, hello, Tingting. Let's go in? Where is Sanjin?"

"Brother Xu is inside and planning to eat."

"Well, let's go."

The three of them walked into Xiying Studio together, and the guard did not stop them.

Along the way, the middle-aged man's pace was neither too fast nor too slow. As he walked, the waves of memories were still rippling in his eyes.

The current West Film Studio has changed a lot from what he remembered, but there are some familiar buildings.

At this time, he suddenly heard his daughter say:

"Ah, Huang Xiaoming!!"

"..."

Hearing the tone of "meeting a big star", Sun Ting looked a little strange.

Although she can understand the value of the name Huang Xiaoming among women... But the problem is, sister, you are Brother Xu's sister-in-law!

Jay Chou has to call you sister-in-law and pester you to make oatmeal noodles with tomato braise to eat every day.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Zhang Hai ask:

"Are they going to eat?"

Sun Ting quickly responded:

"Yes, go to the cafeteria."

Hearing this, Zhang Qianqian's eyes were filled with regret:

"Aren't you going to eat a lunch box today?...I also want to try the box lunch from the crew. Eh? Tingting, I heard that the chicken drumsticks from the crew taste different from those outside. Is this true?"

"...Sister-in-law, this is too exaggerated."

Sun Ting smiled and shook her head:

"Actually, they are all the same. And sometimes the dishes are not handled cleanly..."

"Really...Wow! Liu Yifei!"

Zhang Qianqian exclaimed again, and Sun Ting followed her gaze and saw Liu Yifei, Liu Xiaoli, Chen Jinfei and the assistants walking out together.

Then, after walking for a while, Chen Jinfei, with his slicked back hair, seemed to notice this side and cast his eyes over.

His eyes fell on Zhang Hai, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.

I want to recognize him, but it seems difficult to recognize him.

Afraid of admitting mistakes.

Just like that, the two sides passed by each other.

Chen Jinfei kept turning his head, the doubt in his eyes getting heavier.

Noticing that he turned around three times during this step, Liu Xiaoli asked doubtfully:

"Old Chen, what's wrong?"

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard someone shouting from behind:

"Sister-in-law...ah? Uncle! Why are you here!"

Liu Xiaoli also turned around and saw Xu Xin who came out with Yang Mi with a surprised look on her face.

Then, she heard another sentence:

"Sanjin, you've become more capable. When you come to Xi'an, why don't you go home for a meal? Do you still want me to come over and treat you?"

As soon as he said these words, Chen Jinfei's footsteps suddenly stopped.

Liu Xiaoli, who noticed that he stopped, asked:

"What? Do you know me?"

"..."

After Chen Jinfei turned his head and looked at the people who were already chatting several times, he suddenly turned to Liu Yifei who was looking down at the script and asked:

"Feifei, have Mimi told you whether Director Xu has any brothers?"

Liu Yifei, who was about to start filming the interrogation scene in the afternoon, came to her senses, turned to look at her godfather, and said directly:

"No."

Director Xu's family is two brothers, she knows that.

Mimi mentioned it to her.

Although I don’t know what my godfather is going to do...

but……

Recalling that at noon yesterday, Mimi came to her specifically to talk about the content of their intimate conversation, but she directly denied it.

After hearing this, Chen Jinfei frowned again.

At this time, Liu Xiaoli asked:

"Old Chen, what's wrong? Why do you ask?"

"..."

Chen Jinfei thought for a while, covered his mouth with his hand, and whispered something into Liu Xiaoli's ear.

Liu Yifei vaguely heard something like "land resources, province".

But she didn't really care.

When she saw her surprised mother's mouth turned into an "O" shape and a cautious expression gradually appeared in her eyes, a trace of dissatisfaction gradually appeared in her eyes.

Fleeting.

You two...don't you really think this distance is too close?

At this time, a gust of wind blew over.

The cold wind was howling, and she heard the assistant CINDY beside her shivering and saying:

"Hiss~ It's so cold."

Is Liu Yifei cold?

She's not cold at all.

Because she also has something called a "self-heating patch" attached to her lower back.

Imported from Japan.

There are currently very few people using this in China.

It's also magical.

If you stick it on your clothes, it will continue to generate heat for at least three or four hours.

Given by Mimi.

Although there was heating in the studio, the place was a bit too spacious after all, so it couldn't store much heat.

The irony is that when Tingting sent this thing over, several assistants around her didn't know how to use it...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of what Mimi said yesterday.

In her room, Mimi looked at her clothes in the cabinet and said:

"Feifei, I think it's time for you to change your dressing style... Most of your clothes are from the time we met, and they are a bit too old. When the filming is over and you return to Yanjing, shall we go shopping?" "

She didn't know why she remembered this.

But...she really likes the clothes of Mimi's image assistant.

Even if it is a private server, every detail can be seen that a lot of thought has been put into it.

And when compared with myself...

She pursed her lips silently.

…

"Uncle, it's not that I won't go home. I really can't leave..."

In the private room of the canteen, Xu Xin stood up with a glass of beer and apologized to Zhang Hai:

"Aren't I learning from you, uncle? At any time, work comes first! Once you've done your job, worry about other things! Do what you do, love what you do, and insist on shining in your position!"

"..."

Not to mention Zhang Hai, even Yang Mi was speechless.

Listening to her brother's words, she felt ashamed.

Zhang Hai shook his head helplessly:

"Gua Wa Zi knows how to talk~"

"Hey, hey, uncle, I respect you."

Xu Xin raised his head and drank the beer in one go.

Zhang Hai also drank half a cup and then waved his hand:

"Okay, sit down and eat slowly. I originally wanted to take you home for a meal at noon. But now I see...very busy?"

Xu Xin nodded:

"Well, we have to start again at about one o'clock. Otherwise, I will have nothing to do with you today."

"Forget it, work is important."

It is impossible for Zhang Hai to force a child to persuade him to drink.

Everyone started to move their chopsticks.

Mainly I picked up this movie and started talking about it.

Such as shooting investment, shooting techniques, story plot, etc.

While chatting, Zhang Qianqian received a call from her husband.

When Xu Miao knew that his wife had seen his brother, he specifically asked her to give the phone to Xu Xin.

Xu Xin took it:

"Hello."

"Sanjin, are you in Xi'an?"

"Um."

"Oh, okay, I got it."

"Okay. Stop drinking!"

You see, the brothers' care for each other is so simple.

One just needs to hear your voice, the other just needs to tell you nonsense.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Hai suddenly said:

"I heard Qianqian say that you formulated the strategy of only doing people's livelihood projects?"

"Well……"

Xu Xin was stunned for a moment, then nodded:

"Um."

Zhang Hai became interested and said:

"Tell me, what do you think? Nowadays, real estate developers want every household to build a villa and package themselves as high-end as possible. How come it's the other way around here?"

"It's nothing. I thought real estate was a hot spot, so I asked my family to do it. But then I thought about it, and I always felt that according to historical rules, if an industry becomes a hot spot, then cost increases and prices will skyrocket soon... As for houses, , just two points. One is to build a stronger building, and the other is to be cheaper. I think these two points are in line with the inner needs of some people who want to buy a house, so I told Sanshui to do it. At least it is worthy of my own conscience, yes Bar?"

"Hmm~~~"

Zhang Hai nodded slightly, his eyes full of relief:

"I also told him that there is nothing wrong with putting people's livelihood projects first at any time. Grow up, Sanjin. Come~"

He raised his glass again.

"Let's just have this bottle, two cups per person. After drinking and eating, it won't delay your afternoon work. I also have an explanation for your father. Otherwise, when my son came to Xi'an, I didn't even entertain him for a meal. This year's Chinese New Year Why do you come to visit us at home?"

Xu Xin smiled and picked up the cup with both hands.

After the meal was over and before leaving, Zhang Hai said:

"Three Golds, work hard. The next step for our family is to vigorously develop the tourist city. There will be a lot to do by then."

Xu Xin responded:

"Hey, I know, uncle."

…

Zhang Qianqian and Zhang Hai left together.

There was no need for Xu Xin and Yang Mi to send him off, so he left by himself.

After the two of them walked away, Xu Xin took Yang Mi towards the studio.

Only then did Yang Mi ask:

"What does Uncle Zhang mean by that last sentence?"

"It means a lot. But it's all speculation~ I guess... I just have an idea now, and I haven't made a detailed plan yet. But for you, it probably means that I want you to speak for me."

"...?"

Yang Mi was stunned:

"What do you represent?"

"A tourist city."

"..."

The corner of Yang Mi's mouth twitched and she asked speechlessly:

"You're not talking about...the image spokesperson, are you?"

"What? No?"

"It definitely won't work. I'm not from Shaanxi. No matter how you look for endorsements, you can't find me."

"But you are a daughter-in-law from Shaanxi."

Xu Xin smiled a little bit:

"You don't understand the principle of marrying a chicken and following the chicken, marrying a dog and following the dog?"

Seeing that he was interested in joking, Yang Mi was even more speechless:

"You are really good at using metaphors... But having said that, I wanted to tell you before, are we going to move? You see, every time Brother Sanshui comes to Yanjing, he stays in a hotel for fear of disturbing us. I think it's not right It’s appropriate… when will we move to a new home?”

"Let's talk about it then... Let's not think about anything else. You have a scene with Liang Bingning in the afternoon. Are there any problems?"

Hearing this, Yang Mi asked back:

"What do you think?"

"I think there's nothing wrong with it, come on, blast her!"

"Hehe~"

Yang Mi nodded with a smile.

And in his narrowed eyes, a ball of flame suddenly lit up.

…

When Xu Xin and Yang Mi returned, Yang Mi and Liang Binning's lighting replacements had already started lighting work.

Needless to say, Yang Mi naturally went to the side to make preparations silently.

Xu Xin sat in front of the monitor again, wearing headphones and checking the clips from the morning's shooting.

After checking, he also walked to the two light stations and stood in front of the camera to start the layout.

Others were either resting or chatting.

Midway through, there were several scenes where all the lights were dimmed, not because of a power outage, but because of the needs of the scene.

Everyone has become accustomed to it.

Unexpectedly, this time the search for light took nearly 2 hours before it was completely over.

During this period, I repeatedly turned on the lights more than ten times, and finally found the light that Xu Xin wanted.

After confirming the final effect, he said to Li Haiping:

"Get the actors in place."

…

In the room of Gu Xiaomeng and Li Ningyu.

Xu Xin held the storyboard in his hand and looked at Yang Mi who was wearing only a nightgown with a military coat outside the nightgown and said:

"You sit here for a while."

After pointing to the single sofa, Yang Mi sat directly on it.

Xu Xin looked at Liang Binning again:

"Sister Bingbing, you will continue to lie on this chaise longue."

Liang Binning also lay down directly.

The graceful curves attracted the attention of many staff members.

There's no way, why did both of them wear long nightgowns?

But for Xu Xin, his heart was as calm as water... Even if he appeared naked in front of him, he might not be moved.

Because...this scene is very important.

"Sister Bingbing, after a while the lights dimmed, you woke up with a start, do you understand? Wake up with a start, I want to be in a very abrupt state. Then I asked Gu Xiaomeng what happened. She didn't need to answer, and then walked... walked... …Finally to the window…”

"Okay, got it."

Liang Bingning, who was sitting on the chaise longue, responded.

Xu Xin turned to look at Yang Mi again, and suddenly made a deep breath:

"Huh... I want to see four emotions in your play."

He made a four sign:

"True compassion, eerie terror, panicked disguise, and a calm, penetrating gaze. Do you understand?"

"..."

In the quiet studio, when he heard Xu Xin's words, even Wang Zhiwen, who always liked to be alone when filming, couldn't help but open his eyes.

After thinking for a while, he silently moved to the monitor where Xu Xin was sitting.

I plan to see what this scene is about.

Four emotions?

Isn't it just a scene where Bai Xiaonian is taken away?

There aren't many descriptions in the script, so why is it suddenly so difficult?

Showing four emotions in a short period of time?

Not only him, but other actors also gathered around, intending to see what kind of expression it was.

At this time, Xu Xin, who had finished explaining the scene, had already waved his hand:

"All departments are getting ready. Get ready to start shooting!"

…

"The phonograph music starts, three, two, one, start!"

The somewhat distorted music sounded in the studio.

As the camera moves like water, Li Ningyu, played by Liang Binning, is lying on the chaise longue, covered with clothes and dozing off.

She seemed to like this song very much, and a slight upward smile slowly appeared at the corner of her mouth.

In this shot, Xu Xin used constant horizontal movement.

After moving the camera away from Liang Binning, the screen moved little by little to Gu Xiaomeng.

In the warm light, Yang Mi, who was wearing a white nightgown and a coat, stared intently at her "sister" on the chaise longue.

Her posture holding the cigarette was very elegant, and in the smoke, her eyes reflected a glimmer of light.

Slightly shiny.

And with this sparkling texture, her eyebrows suddenly changed from slightly concentrated to relaxed.

The muscles between the two eyebrows suddenly stretched.

Starting from the stretching of her eyebrows, the outline of her eyes began to expand a little bit, and the lines at the corners of her eyes softened in this glimmer of crystal light.

Then, there was a hint of a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

Pity, completely opposite to the usual Gu Xiaomeng, quietly clung to her face.

"..."

Not only Liu Yifei, but also the onlookers Zhao Liying, Jing Tian, Lin Xinxin... Even the layman Wang Sicong subconsciously wanted to imitate this subtle change of expression.

At this moment, the soft light and warm room layout echoed the expression on her face, and an expression... that was close to doting but not quite like doting emerged spontaneously.

It also made those who failed to imitate frown.

This expression...can't be done.

Poor control.

At this moment, Xu Xin, who was sitting in front of them, raised his hand.

Looking at the girl who seemed to be frozen in the old days of the Republic of China, he clenched his fist and waved it down...

The lighting engineer who had been paying attention to his movements instantly turned off all the power sources except for the weak cold green light.

The moment there was a "click", Yang Mi's entire facial features were shrouded in shadow.

"...!!"

Zhao Liying instinctively covered her mouth.

This really scared her.

The facial features suddenly darkened, shrouded in shadows illuminated by the faint green light above the head...

This sudden change turned all Yang Mi's facial features into shadows.

It’s so scary…

But she was so careless that she didn't notice that just after the lights dimmed and the light that specifically increased the shadows was cast, Yang Mi's expression instantly condensed.

Purse your mouth and shrink your chin to make the shadow area on your face larger.

Then he kept his movements numb.

Like a corpse...

The feeling of horror came out immediately.

At this time, Li Pingdong's camera position also changed from moving laterally to being fixed.

After taking a fixed aim at Liang Binning, Liang Binning stood up and looked at Yang Mi immediately:

"what happened?"

The camera quickly moved to Yang Mi's face.

I saw that when the camera turned around, her body made a forward movement at the same time.

Just by leaning forward, she escaped from the green light above her head.

The shadow is gone, and the face with snow-white skin appears again.

It's just that compared to the dull and gloomy look buried in the shadows just now, the girl's mouth at this moment was slightly pouted, her eyes widened again, and her two eyebrows moved towards the middle again, showing a look of panic and confusion, and she shook her head quickly at Liang Bingning. Shake his head.

Then, Liang Binning seemed to hear something. She landed on her feet, and when she stood up, she made a "pressing hand" motion, just like Li Ningyu said to Gu Xiaomeng, "Don't make a sound."

After standing up, he tiptoed towards the door.

But the camera didn't capture her.

This scene is a reshoot of the next one.

Li Pingdong's camera was pointed at Yang Mi from beginning to end.

In the camera, the panicked girl did not deliberately continue to make any facial movements after seeing her sister get up.

She just held the cigarette and put it to her mouth.

Not the middle of the lips, but the edges of the mouth.

He tilted his mouth and took a puff of cigarette.

The cigarette butt suddenly gave off a faint fiery red light.

In the light, she seemed to be smoked, and her eyes narrowed.

The action of pursed lips caused by smoking caused her facial muscles to move downwards.

Purse your lips, smoke, squint your eyes.

Finally, when the fireworks dimmed, she opened her mouth slightly, and a cloud of smoke blew out from her mouth and was instantly inhaled by her nose...

It turned into a long smoke:

"call……"

His eyes, which were narrowed and showed depth, were always fixed in one place.

There is no movement in all directions and no waves.

Taking advantage of the dark moon and high wind, taking advantage of the beauty's back.

Under "Gu Xiaomeng", the beauty's true face seems to have passed by, and after a startling glance...

As the smoke dissipated.

"..."

Less than 2 minutes of play.

A year of preparation, numerous acting skills training, and emotional thinking... all turned into the expression of these four emotions at this moment.

Four emotions, four looks, all captured to perfection.

It was passed on to everyone and surprised everyone.

until……

Xu Xin made a sound containing surprise, excitement and joy:

"Pass!!!"

"..."

There was silence.

Everyone watching behind Xu Xin had surprised expressions on their faces.

But the degree varies.

But to say that the deepest one here is Zhao Liying.

At this moment, she felt like she saw the ceiling she longed for...

Saw mountains.
