I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 265 263. This drama is done

The crew has been preparing for the last scene between Liang Binning and Yang Mi for a long time.

And there is only one reason why it took so long to prepare.

That's why Xu Xin insisted on taking one shot to the end.

Li Pingdong was the first to object, because the scene was conservatively estimated to last at least fifteen to twenty minutes.

It includes a lot of moves, lines, expressions, emotional undertones...

This is not a fight scene or a scenery scene.

This is a literary drama, the biggest conflict between Li Ningyu and Gu Xiaomeng.

In this scene, the inner transformation of the two sisters from falling in love to killing each other and then falling in love is perfect, holistic and three-dimensional.

It is also the final turning point of the entire film.

One shot to the end is simply a fantasy.

Not to mention whether the actors can grasp the huge amount of lines, it is difficult for the actors to accurately grasp the complicated movements and emotional changes.

Therefore, he was the first to object and planned to shoot normally.

But Xu Xin was very persistent.

It was precisely because no one dared to do this that he had to do it.

One shot to the end, using camera movement and lens switching to complete the iteration of the inner thoughts of the two characters.

From walking together, to abandoning you, and finally to please leave with me, and I'm sorry, please abandon me.

When he thought of this kind of scene, the kind of tension shown in front of the shot, Xu Xin was so excited that he couldn't sleep.

After Li Pingdong raised objections, other directors also raised objections.

but……

They are not general directors.

Xu Xin is the one.

So, in the end, Xu Xin decided to take the final shot.

Handheld lens.

From the moment Gu Xiaomeng and Li Ningyu entered the house, to walking to the bathroom, and the emotional confrontation in the narrow space in the bathroom... everything was done using handheld lenses.

This is a great test for actors and photographers.

Even if Li Pingdong is an experienced person who has walked through strong winds and waves, he still has some headaches.

Therefore, during this period of time, the entire crew has been working with the two actors to study how to take the route, while Yang Mi and Liang Binning had to ensure that their emotions and lines changed while memorizing the route.

When we talked about the smooth shooting before, after we took this part, the two of them tried it twice.

The effect is very poor.

But Xu Xin still insisted on not changing.

He wants to take a shot to the end.

So, in the second half of the shooting, the actors started to skip filming.

We finished filming all the scenes and made sure not to delay other people's work, and then left the two of us to work on it slowly.

Yesterday, Wang Zhiwen, Shi Chaoqi, and Huang Xiaoming's scenes were completed one after another.

The queue lasted until past 2 o'clock in the morning.

The good news is that all the actors' scenes have been completed.

The bad news is that only Liang Binning and Yang Mi are left.

Like Yu Xuan and Su Youpeng who have already left the crew, they will leave the crew today and then wait for the filming to wrap up and return to Yanjing or choose a good and auspicious day to hold a wrapping banquet.

99% of the scenes in "The Wind" are basically over.

There are only two games left.

One scene is this, and the other scene is Zhang Hanyu sitting in a car in memory of his comrades.

That scene was not filmed this season, but will be filmed until spring next year when the flowers bloom.

Oh yes, there is also a cameo scene of Lang Lang playing the piano.

It’s also five seconds, everyone is treated equally...

…

7am.

Xu Xin got up.

Yang Mi is still sleeping soundly.

Everyone finished at around 2 o'clock yesterday and were all very tired.

But he couldn't sleep anymore, thinking about his "one shot to the end", quietly got up and walked to the bathroom.

After cleaning up my personal hygiene, I went out to have breakfast and then went directly to the studio.

There are already people in the studio.

Several people, including Lin Li, were shining the light with Guangdai.

There are three light changes in today's scene. One is the normal conversation between the two sisters in the room, and the second is when Gu Xiaomeng attracts people to the bathroom, and that section of the road is shrouded in sunlight.

The sun should follow you like a shadow.

That was a metaphor that meant she was on an absolutely correct path with an absolutely bright future.

The third type is the lighting in the bathroom.

The method of use in "Secret" is still continued. Each of the two rival actors has a warm yellow and a blue and yellow.

Through dialogue and emotional enhancement, the background in the camera will change with the angle, revealing the true inner emotions of the two people.

In today's scene, Li Pingdong will do it himself.

Even though Lin Li was very mature, he was still worried.

Although this kind of long lens is not used by anyone, the shooting effect can only be said to be average.

And honestly speaking, if this kind of lens is used well, to exaggerate, it can really be recorded in the "annals of history"!

In the small space, there will first be an exchange between Li Ningyu and Gu Xiaomeng, then a moving shot of the camera following Gu Xiaomeng to install signal interference for the bug placed in the room, and finally following Gu Xiaomeng into the bathroom and waiting. The arrival of Li Ningyu.

And the confrontation between two sisters who "fall out".

Finally, he came out of the bathroom and quickly moved the dialogue between the two parties under the camera...

Just thinking about it, you know how much work it is.

Therefore, Li Pingdong needs to eat well, drink well and exercise enough strength today.

After seeing Xu Xin, Lin Li and the others wanted to say hello.

But Xu Xin waved his hand, and then began to walk among the bedroom scenery with squinted eyes, minding his own business.

All the road maps were clear in his mind, but he still wanted to find a better and more suitable route.

He wandered around the room for an unknown amount of time, just like turning flowers. Finally, other people in the crew came over one after another.

Including Wang Sicong, Jay Chou, Lin Xinxin... and Jing Tian and Zhao Liying who didn't leave even after the movie ended.

Everyone wants to see how this footage ends.

At nearly 10 o'clock, the actors finally arrived and put on makeup.

At 10:05, Yang Mi and Liang Binning started auditioning.

This drama is a group drama, and Gu Xiaomeng and Li Ningyu's roles are equally matched.

In this scene, both parties need to burst out with the same energy. If one person's emotions are not in place, both sides may fall short.

Therefore, there is no such thing as who is going to blow up who or what.

Yang Mi and Liang Binning just started performing in front of Xu Xin, saying words, and then started following the route over and over again.

The first time, the route went wrong.

The second time, the route was wrong.

The third time, I finally found the right route.

Then he started running between two rooms along the route, saying his lines.

Then there is the camera tracking and cooperation.

It was just such a scene, from 10 a.m. to around 1 p.m.

Everyone was hungry, but the filming didn’t happen.

It doesn't matter.

Eat and find your state again.

Everyone has been fully prepared for this long shot.

When Lang Lang arrived in the afternoon, he saw the crew busy and was just about to say hello to Xu Xin when he was pulled aside by Jay Chou:

"Hey, don't disturb them at this time."

"...Why? Aren't I here to make a guest appearance?"

Jay Chou, who has felt the seriousness and persistence of his friend since the morning, shook his head slightly:

"This scene is very important. They have been preparing for it for almost a day."

"Well……"

Although he didn't know what was going on, Lang Lang still nodded:

"good."

…

"Recently, when I learned that the filming of the much-anticipated "The Wind" was coming to an end, our reporters rushed to the crew immediately and wanted to have a field trip. This film is directed by Xu Xin, a young director who has become famous this year. Combining the luxurious team of Western Film and Television Group and the films of many famous actors and actresses, let’s see where this “wind” is blowing…”

In the evening, the program "Entertainment" aired the behind-the-scenes of "The Wind" filming and interviews for the first time.

After the news ended, "Entertainment Broadcast" successively released the interviews, and the entire Internet began to have a heated discussion about "The Wind".

There are actually two main hot topics.

One is the interviews with various actors in the crew in "Entertainment Broadcast".

One is Yang Mi's "self-mutilation" behavior.

In fact, logically speaking, her behavior is quite common. For a Method actor to play a role, experiencing pain is not something worth writing about.

But... Yang Mi's fans were not happy.

It's not quite right to say unhappy, more like "mixed."

Why are you treating us like this?

You don't feel sorry for Mimi, but we still feel sorry for her.

What a crappy crew, what a crappy director!

We have to boycott... Oh, yes, if we boycott, we won’t be able to see Mimi.

What to do? ...Mimi worked too hard for this movie!

She works so hard, this drama must not let down Mimi's hard work! If we dare to live up to it, we must take our own measures to protect Mimi...

You see, sometimes fans are just like that.

Their starting point is not necessarily bad, but sometimes it is true that benevolent people have different opinions on some things.

It is obviously the dedication of the actor, but in the hearts of some people who like Yang Mi... whether they regard Yang Mi as a wife or a daughter-in-law, her behavior is intolerable.

And who is to blame for this intolerable behavior?

Need to ask?

Kill the dog!

then……

Xu Xin was charged.

Although it can't keep up with Li Yi's kind of war that often starts under the banner of "holy", facing Yang Mi's huge number of fans, some small-scale fan groups gathered just because of the Olympic Games and the movie fans of "Secret", compared with Raise an army of bees...

It's really not enough.

Baidu Xuxin Bar was smashed to pieces...

Of course, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is a lot of personal anger here.

Who told you to have an affair with Yang Mi?

Who told you to make my Mimi suffer?

If not you, who will?

Therefore, in this sudden war, Xu Xin Bar had no resistance. In less than two hours, the bar owner directly turned on the permission dog mode.

Then what……

Maybe Xu Xin himself doesn't know how to become a fan of his friends, who are also talents.

You like to scold, right?

OK, I won’t delete the post either.

The owner of the forum only posted one post, which was a summary of screenshots of the scandals between Yang Mi and Xu Xin over the years.

There are photos of the two of them at school, photos of the two of them watching a concert in Xiangjiang, photos of the "Sword and Fairy" visiting class, photos of the two of them having dinner together yesterday, etc.

From beginning to end, the two of them sat next to each other.

Hey, are you angry?

Post and pin it to the top.

The title is also particularly eye-catching: "A sweet collection of various photos of Sanjin and Mimi."

At the end of the post, there is a screenshot of Yang Mi’s interview.

The screenshot of the sentence "The best taste in the world is pure joy", paired with Yang Mi's shining eyes...

Is it beautiful?

beautiful.

Breaking the defense?

broken.

Not only was it broken, but it was also a suffocating mess...

As a result, a divine post appeared in Yang Mi’s bar: "To Xu Gou: The hatred for taking away your wife is irreconcilable!" 》

The number of replies in one hour exceeded 1,500...

There was actually a bit of a stir in Yang Mi Bar, and the small bar in charge of management also contacted Sun Ting.

But Sun Ting suppressed the news.

No matter how popular it is on the Internet, no matter how many people discuss it... it has no practical significance for the situation she is facing now.

Because whether it's Brother Xu, Sister Mi, or Liang Binning...

It's been a busy day.

But this scene hasn't been finished yet.

Make mistakes, trial and error, run-in, correction...

But after all... this teasing is still too difficult.

The actors' movements, lines, and acting skills can't go wrong in the slightest.

The photographer’s positioning and lens capture can’t go wrong at all.

During the filming, Xu Xin would constantly think about the route and optimize various things.

This scene has been shot for a day, but there is still nothing satisfactory.

Absolutely no interruptions.

Don't dare to disturb either.

But now there is also two pieces of news, one good and one bad.

The good news is that with this cooperation, everyone’s tacit understanding has improved.

At least three or four of the directions have not been changed, indicating that the best route has been researched.

But the bad news is...

Director Li's waist couldn't bear it anymore.

After standing all day and resisting the camera all day long, he couldn't hold on any longer.

then……

Xu Xin asked everyone to rest.

"Old Wolf, go change clothes, use daylight, take a picture of him playing the piano, and then we'll call it a day. Lin Li, please replace Director Li..."

After waiting for a day, Lang Lang, who chatted with Xu Xin for a few words during dinner, nodded and went to change clothes.

However, Yang Mi and Liang Binning didn't even have dinner and went straight out of the studio to rest.

After Xu Xin finished taking the picture of Lang Lang, he also waved to him:

"I'm going back to rest too."

"Let's go, let's go find a place to have a drink."

Lang Lang looked at Lao Xu, who had sunken eyes, and said directly and considerately without caring.

Xu Xin responded, but also didn't finish his meal. When he returned to the room, he found that Yang Mi had fallen asleep.

He didn't say anything. He just leaned on the sofa outside the room and planned to continue thinking and see if there was anything that needed to be adjusted...

When he opened his eyes again, it was already dark.

There was a quilt covering him.

After fumbling for his phone, he looked at the time...

04:49

It's almost 5 o'clock.

Morning……

"Sister~"

"..."

No one said a word.

Xu Xin got up in confusion and walked to the bedroom, only to find that there was no one in the bedroom.

He dialed Yang Mi's number directly.

"Hello? Where are you?"

"Gym, restore your skin condition. Are you awake?"

"Um."

"Go take a shower. I'm just sweating too. Let's go get something to eat when we get down soon and then go to the studio?"

"good."

After cleaning up, the two got together and went to have breakfast at the door, but the tofu pudding was not ready yet.

Finally, after simply drinking a bowl of soy milk and eating some freshly fried twists, the two of them walked directly to the studio.

When they got to the studio, Yang Mi left her fiancé alone.

Continue to familiarize yourself with the route set yesterday.

Xu Xin sat in front of the monitor and smoked.

There was no need for light substitutes today, so no one else got up very early.

Everyone knows that it is the last scene, and everyone is recharging their energy.

And just when Xu Xin finished smoking a cigarette, he suddenly heard the sound of the silent door of the studio closing.

He and Yang Mi turned around at the same time...

Only to find that Liang Binning and her assistant were walking this way unexpectedly.

"Director Xu, Mimi...why are you so early?"

"Sister Bingbing, is it so early?"

Hearing Xu Xin's words, Liang Binning nodded:

"I went to bed last night. I woke up early today and just wanted to come over and get familiar with it..."

After speaking, she turned around and said to her assistant:

"Let's go make some coffee."

After saying that, he nodded to Xu Xin:

"Then Mimi and I are going to have sex."

"……Um."

Xu Xin responded, looking at the two people who were together again, and nodded slightly.

In fact, his impression of Liang Binning has changed quite a bit during this period.

Not to mention other aspects, in terms of acting, she is indeed not bad at the professional attitude that she should have.

No wonder we have made it this far.

However, this idea only flashed through my mind, and then I fell into deep thought again.

Yang Mi and Liang Binning continued to play together.

Finally, one after another, the crew came.

When Li Pingdong came, he still smelled of plaster when he walked.

Looking at Xu Xin, he shook his head:

"I'm getting old..."

"Why don't we ask Lin Li to come today?... He was almost there yesterday..."

"Need not."

Li Pingdong smiled and waved his hand:

"Let me do it."

People can grow old, but they cannot accept old age.

What's more... he's not old yet!

…

"The actors are in place."

Following Xu Xin's instructions, Liang Binning automatically stood at the window, while Yang Mi picked up the cheongsam again.

"The recorder is on the board."

"Final act, scene...17, three, two, one...begin!"

In the shaky camera lens, Liang Binning looked at the window and said unsteadily in a hangover state with a confused mood, as if her will was blurred:

"Xiao Meng..."

The camera began to move rapidly.

Moved to Yang Mi's face.

She had just finished her sewing and looked at her with some confusion;

"?"

Then, Liang Binning staggered up to Yang Mi and squatted down.

Looking at her with a pair of dull eyes:

"You're locked in! ... You're both locked in!"

Yang Mi looked fearless:

"Wu Zhiguo was unwilling to give in and kept biting me."

After the two looked at each other for two seconds, Liang Binning seemed to be getting more and more blurred. She hooked her arms around Yang Mi's neck and brought her face to her ear:

"I know it's not Captain Wu..."

The camera began to move quickly to Yang Mi.

There was no trace of fearlessness in Yang Mi's eyebrows anymore.

Totally numb.

Then after turning around again, Liang Binning continued:

"Don't worry, I won't expose you."

"..."

Yang Mi was silent, waiting for Liang Binning to look at her again. She seemed to have decided something, and said in a calm tone:

"Try on some clothes."

After saying that, she took off Liang Binning's windbreaker and picked up the cheongsam.

Here comes the first point.

Xu Xin's request was, "This dress is Li Ningyu's soul."

Clothes symbolize Li Ningyu's dignity.

This layer of dignity was stripped away by Takeda.

That's why Li Ningyu seems so confused now.

And when the dress was mended by Gu Xiaomeng and put on Li Ningyu, Li Ningyu's reason began to return.

Her eyes should not be blank, her rationality should be shown.

Liang Binning's performance has not been very good before.

But today when I saw the camera, Liang Binning's hangover state suddenly began to disappear, and the trance in his eyes disappeared...

Xu Xin suddenly sat up straight subconsciously.

This state...is over!

Is this going to happen?

Just as she was thinking about it, Yang Mi, who knelt in front of Liang Binning and helped her tidy up her skirt, began to get into the mood.

Li Ningyu's difficulty is over, and now it's time to take care of Xiaomeng.

Look up.

After glancing at Li Ningyu who seemed to have calmed down, Gu Xiaomeng suddenly pointed under the table.

Under Li Ningyu's confused gaze, she stood up and passed over Li Ningyu.

And when Li Ningyu bent down and saw an eavesdropping device, and turned around, Gu Xiaomeng had already walked into the bright light and shadow.

One step, two steps, looking back.

In the beautiful side face, the emotion of yearning for light suddenly appeared.

Then came the hook to Li Ningyu.

You can imagine that she is asking Li Ningyu to come over.

But it can be understood that she is leading Li Ningyu to the light.

The light that Li Ningyu escaped from the devil's cave!

And the light that turns from darkness to light!

Xu Xin's hands suddenly tightened on the armrest.

Then, the camera followed the two people to the bathroom.

Gu Xiaomeng sat on the edge of the bathtub and took out a cigarette.

Li Ningyu closed the door.

"When did you know..."

"I just know now!"

Li Ningyu, who has regained her rationality, seems to have returned to her role as an expert in code deciphering. With her rationality gaining the upper hand, she habitually showed a confident smile.

The trance fell apart instantly.

"I just lied to you!"

"..."

At this moment, Gu Xiaomeng reluctantly took out the cigarette and held it in his mouth.

The moment I heard this, there was an unconscious pause.

Then, he continued to put the cigarette in his mouth and lit it...

The emotions are in place!

What followed was a psychological game, and when Li Ningyu learned from Gu Xiaomeng that Liu Linzong was also part of Gu Xiaomeng's group just to get close to herself...

That anger immediately turned into a solid slap...

To be honest, Yang Mi has been slapped a lot.

At first, Liang Binning was playing falsely.

But Yang Mi asked to "come directly".

And this slap... is also a real slap.

Fortunately, Liang Binning also used her fingers, so it seemed loud but not very powerful.

This is not the time to worry about "Why did you hit me?"

The so-called "drama is bigger than the sky" is the best footnote at this time.

Everyone is focused on the performance, and no one cares whether the slap hurts or not.

The important thing is the play...

After this slap, Li Ningyu's mood began to change.

That anger turned into sadness.

"Liu Linzong has been using me!?"

"I'm going to report you!"...

When all the lines that helped the character complete his mental journey ended, Xu Xin stood up excitedly.

Just the last paragraph...

The bathroom scene is finished, then the next step is the sister scene in the living room...

The bathroom door opens.

"Where are you going?"

"Expose you!"

"Very good. If I could die in your hands...I have nothing to say."

laugh.

cry.

The moment she finished saying this, the smile on Yang Mi's face completed the transition from joy to sadness.

But it wasn't over yet, after turning to sadness, she started to laugh again.

It’s funny but there’s still tears in it…

This series of emotions suddenly surged in front of Xu Xin.

He was stunned for a moment.

Is it too bad?

No, it's great.

It was so good that he didn't react for a while.

The ups and downs of this emotion were so seamless that he was stunned.

However, this sluggishness did not last long, because the two finally began to merge their ideas for the last time.

Gu Xiaomeng's original intention in crying was that he wanted to die.

So she cried just to say goodbye to her "sister" Li Ningyu in the last scene.

But it happened that because of her crying, Li Ningyu was left behind.

So the last scene centered around Gu Xiaomeng begging Li Ningyu to report him appeared on camera.

The lens was shaking even more than before.

It should be that Li Pingdong had some muscle soreness or some physical exhaustion.

But Xu Xin didn't shout stop.

because……

Just a little bit.

Just a little bit closer!

The two people's current role interpretation is completely in line with his expectations. I don't know when it started, Yang Mi is Gu Xiaomeng, and Liang Binning is Li Ningyu.

The two characters have overlapped, but there is still a hint of unnaturalness.

And the last trace of unnaturalness must be reflected in this scene.

As long as it is reflected, the two characters will be completely integrated...

"Xiaomeng, is information more important than life?! Ah!? Can it be more important than your life!?"

"I don't want anything, I want you to live!"

"Xiao Meng! I want you to live!"

…

"Sister Yu... This is the first time I see you with your true face. I really want to chat with you for a few nights and tell you what's on my mind..."

"But it's too late now!"

"I provided the false information, and I must pass it on!"

The two persistences shifted back and forth between the two women's embrace, comfort, and begging.

Cry, laugh, cry with a smile, cry with a smile...

Joy, sadness, farewell, reluctance...

Right now, in front of the camera.

The two people vividly interpreted the tragedy of the two characters and the mockery of their fate.

In the end, only Gu Xiaomeng was left holding the burned out cigarette.

Face your dearest sister with a smile...

"Please, report me to them."

Crying, she said with a smile.

There is no farewell or reluctance.

In an instant, when this smile clung to her face, she seemed to be back to the little sister who circled around Li Ningyu when she first appeared on the stage.

With the most innocent smile, I made a heart-wrenching request to my sister:

"Please, report me."

"Snapped!"

far away.

Xu Xin, who was standing staring at the camera, punched the palm of his other hand.

Oh shit!

This play...

Got it!

…

The entrance of Xiying Film Studio.

"Oh, this is it? Xiying Studio..."

Xu Daqiang glanced at the spacious door and patted Li Hao's car seat:

"Call Tingting. Don't call Sanjin. If you are filming, I won't disturb you."

Li Hao nodded:

"Okay, uncle."
