I'm a Director, I'm Not Bad Chapter 114

  Chapter 114 112. Tethered dog with a crown and a pipe to fly

   "Ah~!!"

"Well…"

   After Yang Mi looked down at the machete at her waist in disbelief in horror, her body fell limply to the side.

   Then, two masked killers played by martial artists from the Cheng family class rolled up from under the bridge.

   This scene is over.

   But there is no rest time.

  Because Chen Jin, who plays Jiang Chan's mother, is already preparing.

"ah!!"

  Jiang Chan yelled, and Chen Jin yelled too.

   While shouting, he came to the two killers.

  The two killers stabbed her stomach one by one, and her hand pierced the throats of the two.

   Four people fell down together.

   But it's not over yet.

  Yang Mi, Chen Jin, and the two martial artists just fell to the ground, and then there were about 20 or 30 group performers in golden armor, after the camera was set up, they directly praised the bodies of the four of them.

   This scene is the end.

   According to the scene in the movie script, with the death of the two, it is time for Prince Jie to lead the "Golden Armors" to attack the palace.

   But this scene has been filmed in the past two days.

  So, after confirming that the scene was okay, and with Zhang Yimou's permission, Liu Guonan directly shouted:

   "It's over, no problem. Get ready to go to the interior."

  The four "corpses" including Yang Mi stood up in a little horror, surrounded by several props, and began to disassemble the knife on their bodies.

  During this time, the four people, including Sun Ting, watched from a distance and did not step forward.

   Waited until Yang Mi's side ended, and when he saw them, he trotted over.

  There is still a blood bag hanging on her body, and the rich tomato juice is paired with that long hair like a madman, which really looks like a mad woman.

   "Crazy Woman" ran over with a smile:

   "Brother, Yifei! Aunt Liu, you are here!"

  Hearing this, Huang Xiaoming smiled and gave a thumbs up:

   "Mimi, you did a great job!"

   "Huh? Is there? ... Hehehe~"

  The girl showed a very happy expression, and at this time, the crew had already started to walk out.

  Although they saw a few of them, no one said anything.

  Everyone is busy with their own work.

   At most, he sneaked a few glances when he saw Liu Yifei.

   "Mimi, are you done filming here?"

  Hearing what Liu Xiaoli said, Yang Mi nodded:

   "Yes, the scene here is over, now I'm going to shoot the interior scene... I'll take you to see it, my scene for today is also over..."

"Um."

  Liu Xiaoli nodded, and Huang Xiaoming took the initiative to say:

   "Then shall we say hello to Director Zhang?"

  He said this while looking at Yang Mi.

  When Yang Mi heard this, she turned her head subconsciously, and saw a group of people from the Olympic creative team including Zhang Yimou, Cheng Xiaodong, Zhang Wu, etc., chatting together.

  She thought for a while and said:

   "Let's go to the palace first. Those teachers are members of the creative planning team for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. When Director Zhang is communicating with them, it's inappropriate for us to interrupt. Wait until we get there, are we talking?"

"OK, no problem."

  Huang Xiaoming nodded, looked curiously at those gathered together, and walked out under the leadership of Yang Mi, while asking:

   "Can Director Zhang be busy?"

   "Yes. I heard from Xu Xin that in the few days before I joined the group, Director Zhang often filmed movies and held meetings at the same time, interspersed between the two."

  As soon as she mentioned Xu Xin's name, Huang Xiaoming immediately asked in puzzlement:

   "That's right, where is Xu Xin? Why didn't you see it?"

   "He's next door...but I don't know what he's busy with. Let's go and see~"

   While talking, she led the three of them to the next door.

   And Liu Yifei didn't say much the whole time, but looked around with curious eyes.

  Trying to deduce from these clues what this movie is about.

   Soon, after passing through the palace gate, the crew came to the gate of the palace where the interior scenes were filmed.

  Before entering the door, the three of them were overwhelmed by the glazed decorations in the night palace.

   "It's so gorgeous..."

  Hearing Huang Xiaoming's words, Yang Mi looked at Liu Yifei's mother and daughter again.

  The eyes of the three are similar.

   I have to admit that Zhang Yimou used this kind of colored glaze to decorate the palace scenery...the degree of magnificence under the light really reached the ceiling of the circle so far.

  The so-called expert will know if there is one as soon as he makes a move.

  From the chrysanthemums in the square, to the high platform, to this magnificent and gorgeous setting.

  Everything in the hearts of the three of them, a thought arose at the same time:

   "The crew of "The Legend of Condor Heroes...what a fart..."

   It's really not a level.

And it's really hard for them to imagine, according to what Yang Mi said just now, there were more than 3,000 ensemble performers here a few days ago, wearing the kind of well-made, golden armor just now, fighting each other. How shocking is the shooting scene...

   Three thousand people!

  What a concept! ?

  How much is the armor alone?

   Simply unimaginable.

  At this time, a fat girl came out of the door.

   "...Ah? Sister Mimi."

   "Dani?...Why are you going?"

   "Brother Jay and Brother Xin want guava, I'll get it. Sister Mimi, do you want it?"

  Hearing Dani's words, Yang Mi shook her head when Huang Xiaoming and the others were still guessing why the girl's accent was so strange:

   "Don't drink, do you want to take a lot? Ask Tingting to help?"

   "No need. I'll just go by myself, I'll go first~"

"Uh-huh."

  Waved at Dani, and waited for her to walk away, Yang Mi introduced:

   "Dani, that's Jay's assistant."

   Jaylen…

  The corners of Liu Yifei and Huang Xiaoming's mouths twitched when they heard this address.

   But the girl didn't explain much, and continued to walk inside:

   "It is said that these colored glazes cost 20 to 30 million yuan... Every pillar in this temple is covered with it."

  While walking, she introduced.

   "And then the next scene... I don't know what to shoot, let's just go and see it."

   Along the power line laid by the crew, Yang Mi led several people into the palace.

   Along the way, the three people behind just looked at the gorgeous carved beams and paintings on the corridors, windows, and pillars, and began to estimate in their hearts how much the filming of the scene would cost.

   And the further you go inside, the more people there will be.

  Finally, the three of them arrived in front of the queen's bedroom.

   It is said to be a bedroom, but it is actually a semi-open room.

  Half of the wooden doors were removed for filming, leaving only half of the room.

  Among the lights and the crowd, Yang Mi led the three of them to the edge.

  Yang Mi is actually also looking for a boyfriend.

  After she started filming tonight, she didn't see Xu Xin...God knows why he went there.

   And walked to a gap in the crowd, finally, she saw her boyfriend.

   I was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly waved to the people behind:

   "This way."

  The three of them walked up to her, and looked at the shooting scene...

   Qiqi was taken aback.

  In the scene, the first thing they looked at was Gong Li.

  Wearing a white gauze dress, a bunch of peonies embroidered on the corner of the skirt... or gold silk embroidery of chrysanthemums, a gold belt inlaid with jade around her waist, long hair like a waterfall, Gong Li looks elegant and elegant.

  Is it beautiful?

   Obvious.

  The sense of nobleness and purity of a queen, everyone just takes a look at it, and there is a kind of elegance spontaneously.

   "It's so beautiful..."

   Liu Yifei murmured.

   At this moment, Gong Li was standing beside Xu Xin.

  Wearing a pair of short-sleeved sweatpants, Xu Xin was holding a script in his hand and was communicating with Gong Li.

  Huang Xiaoming and Liu Yifei are both actors, seeing this familiar scene, the first reaction is...

   Are you talking about a play?

   Then a feeling of absurdity came out.

   Telling a play to Gong Li?

  Including Liu Xiaoli, the three of them felt absurd in their hearts.

   But actually...

  Xu Xin is really talking about drama.

   "Mr. Gong, for the hug scene in a while, I just ask for a little bit. You want to cry, but you can't cry. It's just...Look... Zhou Ai, come here."

  Following Xu Xin's greeting, the people behind saw... It turned out that Jay Chou, who was dressed in an ancient costume, was actually squatting on the ground.

   "Hey, what's the matter?"

   "Kneel down first."

"…ah?"

   "Hurry up, don't ink, hurry up."

   "Uh... alright."

   Jay Chou knelt down obediently.

  Xu Xin looked at Gong Li:

   "Look, didn't Zhou Ai kneel down to say hello in this scene? You help him up."

   While talking, he helped Jay Chou.

   "You have to have this kind of action... You haven't seen your son in three years, you have to touch it, right?"

   "Well, you continue."

  Looking at Xu Xin who put his hand on Jay Chou's face, Gong Li responded.

  She knew what the other party wanted to express.

Understand.

   "Then, the dialogue, after the dialogue, give a hug. Note, the hug here is the most important point of this clip."

  He hugged Jay Chou, who was rather rough, in his arms.

   Jay Chou is 1.75 meters tall.

   And Xu Xin is 1.85 meters.

  There is a height difference of ten centimeters between the two.

   Very easily, Zhou Ai was hugged by Xu Ke like a little daughter-in-law.

   "Hey, wow you..."

   "You don't move."

  Holding Jay Chou, Xu Xin faced Gong Li and said:

"Queen, only when you are in front of Prince Jie, will you show your tenderness and weakness as a mother. But you must not give too much. The touch of the face just now is gentle. After the hug, I want you Cry, want to cry, but bear with it. After hugging your son, you have to show a sense of weakness. You are wronged, you are helpless, you miss... and you have been betrayed by your husband and Prince Yuanxiang. This moment of crying is shown. But immediately, stop crying! Understand? You can't cry, you have to stop. After you stop, let go of Prince Jie, and the expression on his face returned to that of a mother who belonged to the palace. Yi Tianxia is mixed with a gentle look..."

   "...good guy."

  Following Xu Xin's narration, the corner of Gong Li's mouth twitched...

   "Xiao Xu, how big a hole did you dig for me?"

   "Try it, I think you are absolutely fine!"

  Hearing Xu Xin's words, Gong Li shook her head helplessly:

"I want to cry but have no tears, show weakness and sadness, and then when I let Yuan Jie go, I will return to the previous appearance, right? What I want is that moment of weakness that makes the audience feel distressed and weak? "

"right."

  Xu Xin responded with admiration:

"That's what it means... because, it's like this, Mr. Gong. Didn't you notice that according to the previous script, in fact, in this play, the queen is just a queen, not like a mother at all. So... this paragraph of Yuan Jie's first meeting when he returned to the palace The scene is what I can think of. In the whole script, the role of the queen is the only scene where she is not only a queen, but also a mother. It is very important... because the second reunion between the queen and Prince Jie , she is going to ask her son to help her plot against her...so..."

  Gong Li was thoughtful.

  First, he looked down at the elegant gauze dress on his body, and felt that it was not decorated with heavy gold ornaments, but was just a bun fixed by a hairpin.

  Finally, she nodded:

   "OK, I see."

"Uh-huh."

  Xu Xin felt relieved, at this moment, Jay Chou suddenly said:

   "What about me? What about me? How should I behave?"

"you do not need."

   Without hesitation, he extinguished his desire to express, Xu Xin said:

   "You can tie the dog crown, this scene is the best of Mr. Gong."

   "I...what?"

  Jay Chou was a little at a loss when he heard another new word popped out of Xu Xin's mouth.

"Well…"

  Xu Xin was also a little puzzled.

  What is the leash crown?

   But he didn't get entangled, and waved his hand directly:

   "Just act normally as I told you. Hurry up and recite the lyrics, I'll go and see the camera."

  He walked to the side as he spoke, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Yang Mi, Huang Xiaoming, Liu Yifei, and a woman who could almost be said to still have charm.

   I was taken aback for a moment, then raised my hand to say hello.

   But it didn't pass.

  What's going on right now is much more important than some small talk or friendship.

   "Mimi, what exactly is Xu Xin responsible for in the group?"

  Huang Xiaoming couldn't help asking curiously.

   “Just do some chores.”

  Yang Mi did not mention that Xu Xin is a member of the creative team.

  Although she knew that after mentioning it, she was sure that her face was also bright.

   But this kind of thing... If the news leaks out, she can guess it with her toes... When a group of stalkers hear that there is a student who is still studying in Director Zhang's Olympic creative team, how much trouble will it cause.

   Therefore, it cannot be mentioned.

   Just pretend you don't know.

   And at this moment, there was a movement from behind:

   "Hi, director."

   A few people turned their heads instinctively, and saw Zhang Yimou and his group walking over.

   "Let's go there."

  Yang Mi took the initiative to say.

  But before the words fell, Zhang Yimou yelled:

   "Xiao Xu, come."

   "Oh, here we come."

   Xu Xin, who was standing in front of the camera and communicating with the director of photography, quickly responded.

   When the three of them had to stop, Xu Xin walked up to Zhang Yimou:

   "Director Zhang."

   "How are you getting ready?"

   "It's almost there, can you take a look?"

   "I don't watch it, you come and shoot, I'll see your level."

  Zhang Yimou's voice was neither high nor low, but it was enough for the few people standing behind the crowd to hear clearly...

  The eyes of Liu Yifei and Huang Xiaoming both changed.

  First I was surprised, then puzzled...but immediately there was a kind of...inexplicable accident and trance.

   What was surprising was that Xu Xin was not only talking about the scene, but also filming it?

  But immediately began to wonder... Wasn't Xu Xin... from the same class as Mimi? You're only a freshman this year, right? Can you shoot? Or did Director Zhang allow it? What is the relationship between him and Director Zhang?

   And that surprise was seeing Xu Xin nodding:

"good!"

  Looks full of confidence.

   As for the last trace of trance...

   Then it depends on what the individual thinks.

  But there is one thing that cannot be faked.

  Although they haven't greeted Director Zhang yet...but they have already seen it.

  Director Zhang Yimou... As the top director in China, he has such a high degree of trust in Xu Xin...

  This relationship...

   Absolutely extraordinary!

   And at this moment, they suddenly saw Xu Xin turn his head:

   "Hey, brother, Yifei, you are here."

   "Hi, Director Zhang, I'm Huang Xiaoming."

"Ah hello."

   "Hi, Director Zhang, I'm Liu Yifei. It's an honor to meet you."

   "I've seen your play, it's good."

   "Hello, Director Zhang, I am Liu Xiaoli, Liu Yifei's mother. It is an honor to meet you."

"Uh-huh."

  Zhang Yimou nodded:

   "Hello..."The Condor God" has finished filming?"

   "Not yet, we are here to visit Ban Mimi."

   Huang Xiaoming explained before everyone else.

   "Is that so..."

  Zhang Yimou agreed:

   "Okay, then Mimi, please entertain the big guy."

   "Okay, Director Zhang."

  Following Yang Mi's nod, Zhang Yimou glanced at Xu Xin and said:

   "Start when you are almost ready, try first."

"good."

  Xu Xin responded, smiled at the three of them again, and then picked up the walkie-talkie:

   "Everyone get ready, let's take a picture first..."

  Following his words, Zhang Yimou naturally sat on the chair.

  Xiao Xu and Xiao Yang's face has been given up.

  Compared to getting to know the two young actors... what he cares more about is what kind of surprise this kid Xu can bring him.

  So naturally, you don't have to be polite and greet others politely for a while.

   Really unnecessary.

  When Gong Li and Jay Chou took their positions, Xu Xin said to Liu Guonan next to him:

   "Brother Liu, it's time to start."

"…Um."

   Liu Guonan glanced at him and picked up the walkie-talkie:

   "Departments in place, ready to begin."

  The audience fell silent.

  Xu Xin was already squatting beside Zhang Yimou, staring at the screen on the monitor.

  Look at Gong Li.

  Look at Jay Chou.

  Look at the lights.

  Look at the color.

  Unconsciously, he felt a little thirsty.

do not know why.

   But it was too late to think about what water to drink.

   "Come on, act twenty-eight, scene seven, three, two, one..."

"Snapped."

   Playing the board.

"start!"

  Following Liu Guonan's words, camera No. 1 began to move horizontally in an instant.

  First lock the candlelight, then move a little bit, move, in the middle of the candlelight and the slightly dim light, a silhouette of a woman sitting on a bed embroidering flowers appears in the camera.

   The camera is using a speed of 2/1 knots, and the traverse is not fast.

   It is just enough for the audience to see the shadow of the queen first, and then they can see the chrysanthemum at the corner of the skirt, the plain white gauze, and the embroidered hands.

  The light was dim at this time.

  Xu Xin used a blue light filter to make the contrast between light and dark in the whole picture very strong.

  Where there is light and fire, it is bright. And beyond light and shadow, darkness.

  Under the light and darkness, Gong Li's embroidered appearance, dressed in plain white gauze and disheveled hair, seemed more or less monotonous in color.

   But this monotony is made even weirder by the vague but recognizable decorations of the surrounding palaces.

  The picture is very monotonous, but the decoration is very gorgeous.

  Pairing it with the plain white gauze dress, it seems... this person is lonely.

  Adding the white blue light lens, it appears that the queen is alone.

  Through the monitor, Zhang Yimou felt the loneliness.

  A look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

   But before he had time to think about it, a voice came from outside the door:

   "His Royal Highness Prince Jie is here~~"

   "OK, prepare for number two, prepare for close-up!"

  The first shot is over, and the camera starts to readjust the layout.

  In Xu Xin's scene, he decided to quote the corridor scene shot by director Zhang before.

  The colorful corridor, he thought, could form a sharp contrast with the colors in the queen's room.

  So there is no need to shoot the scene where Jay Chou walks in. After the camera is set up, the shooting will start again.

  The moment Gong Li, who was embroidering, heard this, she suddenly raised her head.

   Then his expression froze.

   And Liu Guonan glanced at Xu Xin, and simply gave Xu Xin the walkie-talkie.

  Xu Xin took it and said directly:

   "Okay, turn up the lighting! Remove the filter. All the lights in the outer room are turned on, and the dividing line appears."

  Following his words, the lighting side began to slowly turn on the light of the photography light.

   After the camera removed the blue light filter, the picture suddenly became brighter. But because the light in the outside room was brighter than that in the back room, the sense of contradiction came out all of a sudden.

   Mingming also adjusted the lighting in the room inside, but compared with the outside lighting, it seemed darker inside.

  A very strong visual contradiction appears in the lens.

  Seeing the color change of the screen on the monitor, Zhang Yimou squinted at Xu Xin again.

   When did you steal this from me?

  He was a little puzzled, but he didn't say anything.

  After Xu Xin felt that the lighting was okay, he heard him say again:

   "Zhou Ai, watch where your feet are. Get ready to start~"

   Jay Chou responded.

   Then, after the countdown ended, stepping on the bright light, he walked step by step to the line between the outer room and the inner room:

   "The son and minister pay homage to the queen mother!"

   "Yuan Jie!"

  Shayi fluttered in a hurry, and the queen stepped out of the "darkness" and helped her child up.

  Under the warm light in the outer room, the white dress looked like a white lotus flower.

  Out of the darkness, into the light.

  Out of mud but not stained.

  The clear and beautiful woman's face is full of tenderness from the heart.

  After helping his son whom he hadn't seen for three years, he carefully put his hand on his face and stroked it.

  Her stroking movements are very detailed, first her cheeks.

   Then after touching his son's beard, his hand trembled slightly.

   Then little by little, he covered his son's chin with his palm...

   "Tsk."

  Unconsciously, Xu Xin sighed.

  The details...are in place.

   Wipe your son's face first to see how fat he has become, how thin he has lost, how much he has suffered, how much he has suffered...

   Then accidentally touched his son's beard.

  Because of the setting, Prince Jie is a young man in his early twenties.

   And when I came to leave, my son's beard might not have grown up...

  So, she was surprised, and because she hadn't seen her son for three years, she was surprised, or joyful, unexpected pampering...

  Everything was revealed in this short trembling of hands.

  Never use emoticons.

  It only needs to match the setting of the scene, and with such a shake of the hand, the mother's mentality is fully expressed...

Really are…

   Niubi!

  He sighed, at this time, Jay Chou said softly:

   "I haven't seen my mother for three years, how is my mother?"

  Under close-up shots, the queen immediately hugged her son when she heard this.

   Then at a speed visible to the naked eye, her eye sockets quickly turned red.

   Eyes suddenly become moist.

   Want to cry?

   This idea subconsciously appeared in the minds of all those who watched the scene.

  It's like a drop of water, falling all the way along a silk thread, and falling again... But, at the moment when this drop of water is about to break away from the thread and fall down:

   "Ha~~"

   A gasp that wasn't a laugh.

  Water droplets, the brakes were stepped on.

   At the moment it fell, it was perfectly caught.

  The queen sighed and gasped, leaning on her son's shoulder and nodding:

   "The queen mother is fine."

  The tone was flat, even the tears from the flat tone turned into wind and dissipated into invisible...

  Everything on his face disappeared from the moment he left his son's shoulder and took half a step back.

Disappear.

  In the end, it just turned into a slightly crystal-clear smile at the corners of the eyes, but it was more gratifying and peaceful:

"And you?"

  Shuyi is dignified and dignified, and her mother is in the world.

   There is no need for yelling or crying.

  The actor dubbed "Gong Huang", through this series of micro-expressions, fully transferred the natural transformation of the two identities of being a mother and being a queen.

  At this moment, half of her body was covered by a shadow that didn't exist in the dim light.

   Only the tenderness of the remaining mother remained, and it still lingered on the son who had just returned.

  The remaining tenderness.

   Really running out...

   And this performance, what others think is not clear.

  But it completely shocked Liu Yifei and Yang Mi.

How did you do it?

  How to express?

  Why is it so natural?

  How can it be so natural?

   The two were puzzled.

  But for no reason, Liu Yifei thought of a friend's words:

   "The difference between Sister Gong and you... is at least one hundred and fifty Jay Chou."

   One hundred and fifty?

  She shook her head secretly in her heart.

  You think highly of me...

   On this day, the two girls saw the real ceiling for the first time in a real sense.

  I can't forget it for a long time.

   Brothers, there are still less than 100 votes to enter the top ten of the new book, a good result that has never been achieved before! Ask for a monthly pass! It's the end of the month! 14,000 ask for a monthly ticket! !
