I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 151 149. Sharing

The first time Xu Xin met Huang Qiusheng was three days after the filming of the movie started.

At noon on January 8th, Huang Qiusheng arrived belatedly.

After being late, he seemed quite embarrassed and kept apologizing.

Let’s talk about impressions…

Actually it's okay.

First of all, the drama is not mentioned. Whether it is "Initial D" or "Infernal Affairs", this actor has left impressive characters.

And Jay Chou likes to play with him.

According to Jay Chou, Huang Qiusheng gave him a lot of help when he was filming "Initial D", and the two were a good match in interpreting the relationship between father and son.

But for no reason, Xu Xin just couldn't like this person.

Can't say why.

Maybe it's because the other party is too greasy?

He doesn't know either.

But since it was Jay Chou who insisted on the casting, he didn't say anything.

Ye Xianglun's family scene, which was not filmed a few days ago, can be put on the schedule today.

But it’s not time to shoot yet.

What is rare today is that there are some extra actors in the crew.

Everyone was wearing school uniforms and looked very young. At the moment, they were looking at Jay Chou who was putting on makeup and looking crazy.

These are all students from the University of Truth, and they are here to act as extras in campus life today.

And on the other side...

"Can you take me home later~~~"

A Bayan accent that even locals couldn't tell the difference came out of Yang Mi's mouth.

After saying that, she made a gesture of stretching her hands forward as if to grasp the handle.

"Ride a bicycle~~~"

But she immediately shook her head.

no.

Not bitchy enough...

"Monitor... be a bitch... and make your movements cute... like... like this?"

She muttered to herself, and her arms that were originally straight suddenly curled up, as if imitating the posture of a puppy standing upright and drooping its front paws.

Then Kyon clenched his fist and made a gesture of shaking up and down.

After finishing the action, she turned to look at her boyfriend:

"Hey, what's up? Are you a bitch?"

"Well……"

Xu Xin thought for a while, turned to Gui Lunmei and asked:

"As a girl, how do you feel?"

"...it's...okay."

Guilun Mei nodded slightly:

"It seems very scheming."

"Um?"

Hearing this comment, Xu Xin was about to say yes, but his girlfriend's brows frowned:

"You don't hate it?"

"……I?"

Xu Xin was a little puzzled, but Yang Mi shook her head:

"No, I mean Ah Mei."

"……Hate?"

Guilun Mei was stunned.

"Yes, when we were in school, there wasn't that kind of girl in your class. She was obviously very popular with boys. Many people said she was cute and had a great personality, but you just hated her~ I think she is very artificial, disgusting, and disgusting from the bottom of my heart. Isn’t there such a girl in your class?"

When Yang Mi asked these questions, her tone and timbre were basically no different from those of a local from Wanwan Province.

After hearing her question, Gui Lunmei nodded subconsciously:

"have……"

"Then you hate her?"

"Uh... um."

"Then Qingyi should be this kind of person."

Without giving Xu Xin a chance to speak, she explained to herself:

"Look, as the monitor of the class, Qingyi's role should be that of an outstanding person. And Lu Xiaoyu's invisible attributes should be like those who are very inconspicuous in the class. She’s a girl, right? When we put this attribute into perspective, the first sight of Qingyi should make girls feel an instinctive dislike. This is the only way to qualify... Director, isn’t it?”

"Well……"

Under Gui Lunmei's expression of tilting his head and thinking, Xu Xin's eyes were full of astonishment and confusion.

To be honest, this touched upon his blind spot in knowledge.

As if she could see his confusion, Yang Mi continued to explain:

"Qingyi should be the kind of person who has a lot of girls gossiping about her and talking about her behind her back. She is very pretentious and artificial. In the eyes of boys, her natural expression of cuteness and innocence should be just a pretense in the eyes of girls. It’s the right one to come out.”

"Well……"

To be honest, Xu Xin really couldn't think of it.

How to play this role...

Because... mainly he has never seen such a person.

From a boy's point of view, Yang Mi's words were outrageous.

How could anyone hate the cute, pure, and sweet monitor?

His definition of "bitch" is actually to create a sense of déjà vu for the audience, as if "a bald donkey dares to steal his teacher's wife from a poor man."

It means that the audience wants to complain about Lu Xiaoyu.

Why are you competing with Lu Xiaoyu for Ye Xianglun?

That's it.

Everyone is just waiting to see your joke.

But...it seems that in the eyes of her girlfriend, Qingyi has this deeper level of bitch.

She is the kind of bitch who is naturally disliked by all girls...

But the problem is...

Never seen it.

What does it look like?

Why do girls have this strange mentality of not liking being pretty and pure, thinking others are pretending, and thinking they are bitches? Hey...

Seeing that he really didn't understand, Yang Mi thought about it again and summarized:

"It's just... you will never go to the bathroom with her after class!"

"...????"

"Oh!!! Yes! Yes, yes, it's like this! Yes!"

Xu Xin was still confused.

But Guilun Mei seemed to understand.

I understood it all at once...

"So I'm going to show my dislike and dislike for you soon, right?"

"Yes Yes Yes."

Yang Mi quickly nodded:

"It's just that disgusting and disgusting feeling!"

"I understand!"

"Uh-huh……"

"..."

The two seemed to understand each other easily.

Xu Xin thought for a while and left a sentence:

"Then... you two can think about it slowly... I'll take a look at it later... I'll leave first."

With a lot of doubts, I happened to see Huang Junlang who had already finished his makeup.

The scene I was shooting for a while was the scene at the school dance.

Huang Junlang wears an extremely exaggerated Afro hair style...it's so ugly that you can't bear to look at it.

Ugly and funny.

"Hey, Alang, I want to ask you something."

Huang Junlang turned his head and nodded when he realized it was Xu Xin:

"Ah, Ah Xin."

This guy actually has a pretty funny personality in private.

A party atmosphere starter.

He is quite good at drinking, and he is the only one among these people who can compete with Xu Xin on liquor.

"Let me ask you, for example, when you were in school, there was a beautiful, class president, and pure girl in your class... Would you hate her?"

"…and beautiful?"

Huang Junlang was puzzled for a while.

Xu Xin nodded:

"right."

"The squad leader again?"

"yes."

"Still pure!?"

"Yeah!...I'm very kind to you!"

"Are you still very nice to me?"

Wearing an exaggerated retro DISCO dance king afro style, Huang Junlang looked at Xu Xin like a fool:

"Axin, are you crazy? Or am I crazy? Can anyone really hate this kind of person?"

"right."

Xu Xin also agreed.

"So...how could such a person exist?"

He looked at his girlfriend next to him with confusion on his face.

Then……

After filming started, he discovered...

sorry.

Too sloppy.

This girl really taught Xu Xin a lesson.

Let him understand what it means to be pure to the extreme and become a bitch...

Amid the noise of the crowd, Qingyi walked downstairs with music scores in her hands. After placing the music books in her shoe cabinet, Ye Xianglun's voice rang out:

"OK~BYE~"

Hearing Ye Xianglun's voice greeting his classmates, Qingyi's movement of pretending to be a musical score suddenly stopped.

Then, when Ye Xianglun greeted her...

"Qingyi, let's go, BYE..."

She suddenly sped up her movements and closed the door of the shoe cabinet just before Ye Xianglun left. She turned around, with a... expectant look in her eyes, turned her head and took a step forward to come to Ye Xianglun:

"Can you take me home today?"

This pause is used just right.

First of all, she did not stuff all the music books, music books, etc. into the shoe cabinet, but did it in a very orderly and unhurried manner, showing her carefulness and neatness.

But when Ye Xianglun's voice sounded, her movements had their first setback.

Then he lowered his head slightly. Although he was still sorting things out, he used this way of lowering his head to change his perspective to express his absent-mindedness.

Then when Ye Xianglun greeted her, he suddenly accelerated, stuffed everything into the shoe cabinet, and closed the door without even looking at it.

When the door closed, her body had turned around.

The subtext is to tell people in front of the camera that her purpose is definitely not to close the door.

Or maybe because of Ye Xianglun, she could no longer maintain her usual habits.

Then, the door rang, and that gentle and gentle Bayan accent was spoken quickly:

"Can you take me home today?"

Then, came the expectant eyes standing next to Ye Xianglun.

Smile.

First of all, it looks good.

Secondly, there is a... slightly uncoordinated artificiality.

But this kind of artificiality is not to make people act, but a kind of... somewhat "fake" deliberateness.

But just when Xu Xin still felt a little abrupt, this deliberateness turned into the kind of coquettish behavior that the dog had just seen, raising its front paws, swaying up and down, and begging for a taste.

"Ride a bicycle."

"Well……"

Jay Chou looked around, looking a little dodgey.

And as if he clearly saw the other party's subtext of rejection, the original cute smile and hand-raising movements turned into an understanding smile with his hands hanging down naturally:

"No, I'm just kidding, bye~~"

Qingyi's tone was still so gentle, but Xu Xin's brows were completely wrinkled.

But the drama hasn't stopped yet.

Because after receiving the signal, Gui Lunmei on the other side had already opened the door as soon as Yang Mi walked out of the camera, leaning against the door frame, imitating Yang Mi's previous actions, but her tone became a bit exaggerated, deliberately creating that behave in a spoiled manner:

"Can you take me home on a bicycle later~"

Her hands were also doing this kind of movement, but it was much more perfunctory than Yang Mi's.

There is nothing cute, but it expresses how much I hate this kind of cuteness...

Suddenly, Xu Xin's brows spread again.

I see……

Doesn’t the real essence of this scene lie not with Qingyi, but with Lu Xiaoyu?

Through the contrast between Lu Xiaoyu, we can express how annoying Qingyi’s actions just now are?

But……

He was thinking that the performance here was over.

But before Xu Xin shouted to stop, Jay Chou and Gui Lunmei, who had already walked out of the camera, looked at him...

"Axin?"

"..."

Xu Xin raised his head and glanced at him, then at his girlfriend standing next to him...

One question came out:

"Is this kind of girl really so annoying around other girls?"

"Yes." X2

Yang Mi and Gui Lunmei gave the answer together.

Xu Xin couldn't help but turn his head:

"Hey, Alang... do you hate it?"

"Well……"

Huang Junlang opened his mouth... not knowing what to say.

Why do you hate it?

How could you hate it?

no……

Why do you hate it?

Qingyi is so cute...

Seeing that he didn't know how to fight, Xu Xin turned around and asked Warhead:

"Warhead, if you had to choose, would you choose Lu Xiaoyu or Qingyi?"

"this……"

Warnhead thought for a moment and nodded:

"I'll definitely choose Qingyi, she's so cute~"

"Hey~~~"

This answer earned the double dislike of Gui Lunmei and Yang Mi.

It's outrageous to dislike it.

Warhead was a little speechless... Suddenly he said:

"Where are you, director?"

"..."

Xu Xin's lips twitched when he instantly noticed his girlfriend's dangerous gaze.

this……

Qingyi is played by my girlfriend.

But she plays this kind of character that women hate.

You really know how to ask!

Just give me the proposition when you come up?

How much hatred do I have against you?

After thinking for a while, he said:

"Okay, this one is over... Come on, come on, next one..."

The dog's life is at stake.

…

Yan Jing, the cast of "Wulin Gaiden".

The current filming progress of Wulin Gaiden is just over halfway.

The first forty or so episodes have basically been filmed, and the crew has been getting along for half a year, and the atmosphere is quite harmonious.

In Shang Jing's own words, "everyone has suffered together", especially the "Xiao Mao" scene to be filmed today. Although he is only a guest star in this film, the original cast of "Cooking Class" came together and Everyone is still very happy.

We decided to shoot it quickly tonight so that we could have a dinner party after the shooting.

This scene tells the story of stick-wielding thugs Jiang Xiaodao and Guo Furong testing Xiaoliu's feelings.

Because the filming period is relatively long, other actors have to take leave from time to time for certain matters. Therefore, when occasionally encountering the absence of an actor, we will prepare in advance to shoot the story without an actor.

Needless to say, everyone knows the basics of the cooperation with Maobai.

Shang Jing also planned to finish the filming quickly so that everyone could have dinner together in the evening.

As a result, just as the scene here ended, the phone suddenly rang.

He picked it up, looked at it, and answered the phone with a smile:

"Lao Fan, are you here to inquire about the furry baby? Hahaha~ Have you finished your work over there? When will you come back?"

The caller is named Fan.

That is Xing Captou.

It was because he asked for leave today that he rushed to film the furry boy's scene.

It's really a pity that Mao Boy didn't see Fan Ming this time.

But who would have thought that after hearing Shang Jing's words, Fan Ming suddenly said:

"Director, I have to tell you something..."

For no reason, Shang Jing's heart skipped a beat.

"What's wrong?"

He stood up and walked directly out.

"Tell me what's going on."

"..."

There was silence on the other side of the phone for a moment, and then Fan Ming said:

"Here, let me film a big drama..."

"..."

Shang Jing instinctively twitched the corner of his mouth.

The first reaction is to say no.

No, there are still so many scenes with Xing Captou in the later stage, how could he leave now?

But this reaction was immediately rejected by reason.

This is a regional drama...

How to refuse?

And, he reacted immediately:

"Isn't the show already started?...Why are you asked to go?"

"Replacement. Playing an important role...I don't know the specifics, but there are some problems...go over immediately to start the performance, they are already waiting there."

"..."

Shang Jing was immediately stunned:

"Now?"

"Yes, that's why I came to Nanjing. Over there... I might not be able to go."

"..."

Shang Jing was completely speechless.

Then the second reaction is to contact people and ask for people.

But this second reaction was also directly rejected.

Shang Jing himself is, strictly speaking, anti-empty.

But the fan name belongs to the mainland.

One is empty and the other is land on both sides. Not to mention they are different...the difference in this play is also there.

One is a big drama, but also an emergency scene.

One is a sitcom...

How to compare?

But the question is...if Fan Ming leaves, what should I do?

The first reaction was to change the script, and a lot of the scenes in which Xing was the head hunter had to be removed.

But I immediately rejected it, because without the two detectives to make jokes and transition the plot, the characters in this play would be useless.

The second reaction is...

Pull someone up again!

Who is this person?

There are only a few supporting characters in Wulin Gaiden. Apart from the six-person team, Lao Xing and Yan Xiaoliu have the longest appearance time.

Otherwise, it’s “Xiaomi”.

But the problem is that Xiaomi belongs to the beggar gang, how can he be a head catcher?

Who else?

If we can't find someone, we can only write Lao Xing to death... But the problem is that writing him to death doesn't fit with the tone of the show.

And if we don't write it to death, how will Yan Xiaoliu support the two detectives who will be used to set off and advance the plot?

Isn't this nonsense...

For a moment, Shang Jing was in a state of confusion.

After thinking for a while, he asked:

"You're going there in the next two days?"

"Yes, it's a mission from above, otherwise I wouldn't have left in such a hurry yesterday, without even meeting the furry child."

"..."

Fan Ming also knew that Shang Jing was in trouble, so he thought about it and said:

"Director, how about... if you can write me to death, I'll go over there to shoot first, then change the script, take a day to come over and write me to death, and then I'll go back after filming?"

"Don't talk nonsense...it's impossible."

Shang Jing overturned his idea without even thinking about it.

But I also understand that the end is now done.

Regardless of whether there is a contract or not, even if there is a contract, he cannot stop it. That's a big drama!

Who can stop it? Who dares to stop?

But the question is what to do here...

moment.

"In this case, you go first, and I'll call the God of Wealth to discuss what to do, okay?"

"Okay, okay...I'm sorry, director, I'm so sorry."

"...Hey, where did you go? Let's do it together. You don't have to worry about it...well, that's it."

After hanging up the phone, Shang Jing glanced at the actors chatting in the studio. After thinking about it, he directly dialed Ding Caishen's number...

…

To be honest, when writing the script, Jay Chou attached great importance to the dance scene.

But he really didn't expect that there would be so many elements involved in filming a dance scene.

The "shallowness" of his experience also came out.

In his own setting, the dance is a very important scene. It not only fulfills his dream of a musical, but also has a very important clue to explain.

After Ye Xianglun and Lu Xiaoyu finished dancing, several girls invited Ye Xianglun and said:

"Hey, if you don't have a dance partner next time, you can find me."

This sentence was spoken only after Ye Xianglun and Lu Xiaoyu finished dancing, creating a sense of "taking advantage of the opportunity" for the audience. In fact, everyone was watching Ye Xianglun dancing himself from the beginning to the end.

but……

"Does it really have to be so complicated? ... It's just an ordinary dance. Shouldn't the focus be on Ye Xianglun and Lu Xiaoyu? Does it have to be in this exaggerated style?"

"..."

Hearing this, Xu Xin's eyes were filled with disgust:

"You know nothing. Let me ask you, what is your first impression of Sophie Marceau?"

"You still have to ask? The part with headphones in "First Kiss"... uh..."

Suddenly, Jay Chou seemed to understand the difference here.

Xu Xin looked at the scene that was being arranged according to his requirements and whispered:

"This kind of bleak environment is the time when the director's ability to control the camera is most tested. To tell you the truth, I am also worried about the filming...so I ask you to think as far as possible. It's okay... don't disturb my conception."

"Then do you want me to find two MV directors to help you?"

"...Who are you going to bury?"

Xu Xin rolled his eyes and waved his hand impatiently:

"Go, go, don't bother me, go practice your dance quickly."

After forcibly driving Jay Chou away, he continued to look at the site where he was seizing the time to lay the paving work.

This is already the second time.

During the first shot just now, Xu Xin felt that the dance party did not capture the flavor he wanted, so he re-conceived a few sketches of separate shots, but found that none of them reflected the interaction between the two... In fact, this is also nonsense... It's not like dancing and singing, so how could it be an ambiguous interaction?

So after discussing with Li Pingdong, we decided to abandon the so-called dynamic DISCO and adopt an American country club performance carnival style.

Because the script given by Jay Chou was for Alang to play the DISCO Dance King...

But considering that the story takes place in a music middle school.

This dynamic DISCO style was a bit inappropriate because the "ballroom dancing" part was missing. After filming, Xu Xin felt something was wrong.

In the end, the two of them thought about it and temporarily changed it to an American country style that is both dynamic and "social".

And if you want to change it, you have to make a big change.

Including Huang Junlang's style.

It's easy to get to Fuhua Road. You can rent it from a nearby ready-made clothing store.

But the dance has to be rearranged.

Although the dancers invited here have good foundation in American country style, Jay Chou and Gui Lunmei need to practice again.

We definitely won’t be able to take the photo today.

Xu Xin planned to watch everyone finish setting up the scene in the afternoon, and after the lighting and lenses met his requirements, he planned to shoot Jay Chou and Huang Qiu Sheng's scene in the evening. The dance scene was postponed.

While he was thinking about it, suddenly, Yang Mi came over holding the phone:

"Hmm...Okay...then...I'll talk to him...Yeah, I understand, director, don't worry...Yeah."

Hearing this movement, Xu Xin looked over in confusion.

"What's wrong? Which director?"

"It's Director Shang."

Yang Mi frowned slightly:

"Just now... Director Shang called me and told me something..."

"...What's wrong? Aren't all your scenes finished?"

"changed."

The girl whispered:

"Fan Ming is going to act in another play. It's a serious drama, the kind that I can't refuse. Then after Director Shang found out about it, he and Ding Caishen called and discussed it for a long time. Because we can't write Xing Captou to death, otherwise he will be with Ding Caishen. The overall tone of the story is no longer consistent. Therefore, Capt. Xing will be temporarily assigned to Shibalipu, and Xiao Liu will serve as the Capt. Significantly weakened. So... After much discussion, Director Shang wanted me to play Zhu Wushuang, the first female head catcher in Qixia Town... He asked me when I would be free... if I could go back... I... …”

Speaking of this, her voice became even lower:

"I've already agreed."

"...??"

Xu Xin was stunned:

"What about your drama?"

"That's why I came to discuss with you, should I make some adjustments in the past few days, speed up the progress of my drama, and finish it as soon as possible. You also invested tens of millions in your drama, you can't just leave it alone, right? Are you here? I’m busy here, so I’ll go over there directly after shooting.”

"Well……"

Hearing this, Xu Xin frowned:

"But the head-catching scene is very trivial in the script, and the timeline will be very long."

"You have to do it, otherwise what will happen to your money?"

"And the shooting conditions there aren't very difficult... and the scenes are so trivial that if the role is not positioned properly, the original positioning of Zhu Wushuang may change..."

"I'm not afraid of hardship, and isn't this kind of change something that can't be helped?"

Hearing the concern in her boyfriend's words, the girl chuckled:

"Don't worry about it, okay? You like the story of that drama so much. I can't just let your money go down the drain just because I'm afraid of hard work or something, right? So... you can change it in the next few days. Let's go ahead. I'll finish filming in advance, or finish filming all the interior scenes first. What's left is the opening scene to introduce Ye Xianglun to the campus, and the scenes in the sports meeting? After filming the interior scenes, I'll leave first. I'll need it then. When I'm on my own, I'm rushing back. Just run around more...right?"

She spoke in a relaxed tone.

But in fact, anyone who has ever done a business trip knows how hard it is to travel back and forth.

But she can't tell.

There is no need to talk about it.

She knew that the reason why her boyfriend showed that he didn't want her to go was because the shooting conditions there were indeed more difficult... and secondly, it was just that the scenes that were temporarily changed would become very trivial and would be very troublesome to shoot. .

If it were anyone else, she wouldn't believe her boyfriend would be so unprofessional.

But it is precisely because of himself that he seems to be caring but confused...

It feels so happy to be pampered like this...

But we can’t let you pay it all by yourself, right?

Even though it’s over 10 million… you don’t care. But as a lover, I have to take the initiative to share the pressure with you.

A mess occurs and you have nothing to do...

Then just leave it to me to take care of it.

There may be very little I can do.

But the only thing about enduring hardship for you...

I'm willing to do it.

It won't feel hard either.
