I'm a Director, I'm Not Bad Chapter 217

Chapter 217 215. Cowboy hat and big green pine

The entrance of the Student Registration Office.

Xu Xin politely thanked:

"Thank you two teachers, thank you for your hard work, goodbye."

Nodding at the two elder sisters, he turned his head and left the office.

And as soon as he left, people from several nearby offices gathered together:

"Is he Xu Xin?"

"Yes, that's him."

"...I can't see it. I still remember that Ferrari was posted at the school gate every day a few years ago. Now you look at it. I still feel that it is some leader when he first came in."

"Normal, you don't even think about what he's been doing for the past two years... Tsk, it's wrong."

"No, who would have thought that he has this ability. Hey, let me see what class he signed up for..."

"It's all a big class... Hey, this signature is really beautiful, flamboyant."

"I heard that he was nicknamed Director Ouchi in the Olympic director team, and he is very good. Now I am back in the sophomore year to study with those students... I think the teachers in class must be awkward."

The voices of several people gossiping rang out in the room.

Xu Xin, who knew nothing about what they were talking about, walked quickly outside the school gate.

As a result, as soon as I left the school gate, I saw the Audi that stopped at the intersection because I was in a hurry and got a ticket...

But it's okay, the Paralympic Games aren't over yet, just cancel them together when it's over.

Pulling off the ticket, he drove all the way to the airport.

When I arrived at the International Trade Building in Hengdian and finished checking in, it was already past 3 pm.

"Revisiting the old place", speaking from the heart, for Xu Xin, the changes in Hengdian are still quite big.

It's not about how many tall buildings have been built in this place, or what kind of earth-shaking changes have taken place in the streets. It's about Xu Xin's mood from a personal point of view.

The last time I came here, the Olympics had just begun, and everyone was here every day feeding mosquitoes, holding meetings, watching "Golden Armor"...

Thinking about that process now, it was quite painful.

The mosquitoes in Hengdian are so big~~~~~~~

Scary to think about.

But in this environment, he kissed the girl who had to come back at night because she was still filming on the set...

Thinking about it now, everything just happened yesterday.

Even the plants and trees in the China World Trade Center gave him an extremely familiar sense of sight.

For example, the trash can at the door.

He smoked there.

Like the gym upstairs, where he played ball with the crew.

Everything made him feel very familiar, without the slightest sense of strangeness.

It made him feel like he had stayed in Hengdian for more than two years without any change.

Oh yes.

If there is any change...it may be that the wonton and meat pie restaurant at the door has quietly changed into a "private kitchen" restaurant that has only started to emerge in the last year.

And the advertisement posted on the window is quite interesting:

"There are everything from north to south."

"Exquisite cuisine is a home away from home."

The tone is quite loud.

Xu Xin, wearing a peaked cap, stood at the intersection, looked away from the private restaurant, and turned to the several "black cars" parked at the door.

"Ming and Qing folk houses, how much?"

Hearing his words, the driver rolled his eyes:

"Three hundred!"

Xu Xin was speechless.

Are you really taking me for a fool?

But he opened his mouth, and felt that the bargaining price was too low.

So, he turned his head and left, and came to the second driver:

"Dwellings in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Talk about the price."

Now it's the driver's turn to be speechless.

The big brother in front of the queue is still watching.

"Three...three hundred."

So, Xu Xin continued to walk down, just took two steps:

"One hundred and fifty five."

The driver in the head quickly shouted:

"One hundred and fifty!"

Xu Xin just turned around and came back, walked to his side and muttered:

"Isn't it enough to do this earlier?"

The driver is also interesting.

After hearing this, he said:

"Why don't you just ask and pay back the price?"

Xu Xin was immediately happy.

"I said I'm too embarrassed to bargain, but I can't stand you insulting me, do you believe me?"

"…Ha ha."

Now the driver is also happy, and seems to think that Xu Xin is quite interesting.

also took the initiative to hand over the cigarette case.

It's really good to smoke, King Furong.

Xu Xin took the one from Gu Zi and ordered one, and the car started to drive towards the film and television city.

Along the way, Xu Xin looked at the covered places, and chatted with the driver.

Through chatting, I learned that Hengdian is planning to add many film and television buildings. In recent years, everyone has come here to film movies. Now Hengdian Film and Television City is crowded and sometimes there are traffic jams.

It is conservatively estimated that there are 40 or 50 production crews working at each scenic spot in Hengdian at the same time, and quarrels are commonplace.

When Xu Xin heard this, Xu Xin didn't think much about it.

He shot "Golden Armor" in Hengdian, and the sets for the shooting were all in Daming Palace.

Basically no one.

Thought that the quarrels were all group performances and companies that served the way.

As a result, when I got to the Ming and Qing folk houses, I just got out of the car and walked not far in, when I heard a voice:

"You guys can't **** keep your voice down!"

Turn around and look...

At the gate of a house with a rocker camera and various radio microphones, several people were yelling and cursing.

He didn't intend to look for Yang Mi when he came here, he just came to have a look.

After all, there are too many people on the production team, and those who visit the set with dishonorable titles can easily bring trouble to the fiancée.

After waiting for Yang Mi to play, they returned to the China World Trade Center and they were bumping.

And now I come here just to take a look around, to see if I can "quietly" meet my fiancée by chance, and take a stroll.

Think of it as tourism.

I didn't expect it, just arrived here, and saw such a scene...

He watched the excitement from a distance, and saw a few people yelling at the door shouting:

"It's about **** cooperating with each other, shameless, right? We were quiet when you were filming, and you smashed things with **** hammers when we were filming? Which **** company are you from, huh? A little bit of **** You don't even know the rules, who the **** is used to your stinking problems..."

Good guy.

One **** at a time.

The tone is aggressive enough.

Then I heard someone talking inside:

"Who the **** are you **** with? Are you looking for a beating?"

"Come on, come on, hit me, come on, try to **** touch me, I won't kill you!"

Both sides began to push the bulls.

but…

Xu Xin watched for a long time, but no one did anything.

Everyone, although you are **** me, but in the final analysis, you are still being reasonable.

It probably means that we cooperated when you were filming, but can't you keep your voice down when it's our time?

The other side said why are you so anxious, we are knocking things because we are filming a martial arts scene, we will take a break after filming and give you time. Who said that I can't cooperate with you.

Then the other side said that we didn't know, seeing that you suddenly didn't make any movement, we thought you were going to start filming after the end, but who knew that your sound would start again. Ours is a literary play, and the actors have just entered the state.

The other side said that we will definitely cooperate with you, we cooperate with each other, and if there is such a quarrel, it will be over on our side. In this way, you are giving us ten minutes, and we will make room for you after we finish filming.

The other side said that if this is the case, it will be over. If you calm down, you must send someone to speak. Are you angry that we were interrupted when we started the machine just now...

During this period, the usage frequency of "fucking" on both sides fell off a cliff, and in the end they had already begun to give in to each other.

There was no fight in the end.

Xu Xin watched with gusto, and finally watched the two crews enter their respective courtyards, and continued to move forward after confirming that it was over.

It was the first time he met and knew that the surrounding environment had to be considered when filming.

When filming "Golden Armor", Daming Gong Xu Xin never saw anyone else.

Even if there are occasional other crews, they still walk around the main hall of Daming Palace.

After all, setting up the chrysanthemum stage is equivalent to not allowing other crews to come over until the filming of the film is finished.

This is a use contract signed with Hengdian.

The place of Daming Palace is huge, and there are many people in "Golden Armor".

It is not the turn of others to quarrel with them.

They don't quarrel with others, others have to burn incense and pray to Buddha, thank God.

So Xu Xin really never thought that such a thing would happen in the crew.

It can be regarded as a long experience.

Then, after walking a few steps, he suddenly saw a cordon in front of him.

Behind the cordon, there are still a group of people in old military uniforms busy.

It looks like an anti-Japanese drama.

He intends to go and see.

As a result, the speaker heard "three, two, one, detonation!"

Then…

"Boom!"

At the door of that building, accompanied by smoke and sand from the explosion, a figure flew out with his back to the camera, and hit the ground heavily.

"Crack! Hurry up, change actors!"

Following the director's words, the man in military uniform who hit the ground rolled up and got up, grinning and stepped aside.

Then a man with a disheveled face... a man who looked familiar, but couldn't remember his name, quickly ran to the place where the buddy who flew out just now fell, maintaining the same posture as him.

After resuming shooting again, he struggled to get up. He seemed to have been hit by the blast. After getting up staggeringly, he took the pistol in his hand and started pointing at the door.

BIABIABIA~

Tap a few times to hide beside the door frame.

After a few clicks, he retracted his head again.

And at this moment, a grenade was thrown out of the door again.

Then this buddy didn't even think about it, picked up the grenade and threw it in...

"Boom!"

There was another explosion of smoke and dust.

"OK, pass!"

The filming of this scene is over.

The crew started to get busy, and Xu Xin looked at the stand-in who was standing aside and rubbing his arms...

That fall was not light.

But after the crew finished filming, no one cared about the stand-in at all. Instead, the actor was surrounded by a group of people, so hard work and why...

"Tsk tsk."

Xu Xin felt a little emotional, and left around the alley.

To be honest, the driver is not exaggerating. There are indeed quite a lot of crews filming in this residential area of Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Xu Xin walked around for more than half an hour, and met at least a dozen film crews.

Some were filmed indoors, while others blocked off the entire street to shoot exterior scenes.

It's bustling.

And when he came to an area full of mud houses, suddenly, he was taken aback...

This should be a place dedicated to filming that kind of poor scenes, and all the thatched houses seem to reveal a sense of poverty everywhere. And just under a city tower, there are many people surrounding it.

It should also be the filming crew.

Because of the hot weather, many people stood in the shadow of the gate tower facing Xu Xin.

The clothes on his body look like ancient soldiers.

At first glance, it seemed to be a costume drama, but Xu Xin saw a girl wearing a cowboy hat and a windbreaker... looking like a western cowboy.

She is easy to identify, after all, this costume is tied among the group of people holding a red-tasseled gun or machete in their hands, and her western cowboy style is too eye-catching.

It's the same as the Eight-Power Allied Forces VS Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

But the point is not this.

Right next to the cowboy hat, there are two people standing.

A girl with short hair and a neutral dress.

And another...

Xu Xin thought he was wrong.

But not.

Wearing two ponytails that are as rustic as possible, wearing a satin dress, looking like a little girl...

It turned out to be Zhao Liying.

Xu Xin blinked several times in a row before he was sure that he was right.

It was indeed Zhao Liying.

Unexpectedly... can meet here?

He was really speechless.

However, since he met him, he was surprised and did not intend to leave.

Just watching from a distance, intending to see how this little light who hasn't seen him for more than two years has changed.

As far as clothes are concerned, like the other two, she is different from the group performers. It shows that at least she is not a passerby in this drama.

But as far as makeup and hairstyle...and for some reason, the pimples hidden under the thick foundation on her face, Xu Xin was even more speechless.

Is this on fire?

hormone imbalance?

Irregular menstruation?

It's not that he is a hooligan, but that he has been with Yang Mi for a long time, and he really understands these "health preservation" knowledge.

For example, he knows that acne on the chin or around the mouth is constipation.

For example, acne under the nose is a fire.

Acne on the forehead is an endocrine disorder. For women, the biggest manifestation is irregular menstruation.

He didn't go to learn, but all the knowledge he got from getting along with his fiancée accumulated over time.

According to Yang Mi's words, every acne on a woman's face, especially an artist, is a disfiguring disaster.

So in this regard, she has been very careful in maintenance.

Now, looking at the row of fine pimples on Zhao Liying's forehead under the thick makeup, he guessed that this girl should have something to do with irregular menstruation.

During this time of pondering, it seems that the production team whose name is not known has finished preparations.

The director's staff, including the girl with cowboy hat, short hair, and a big fake turquoise on her head, and Zhao Liying all started to take positions, ready to start shooting.

Seeing this, Xu Xin didn't leave, and just stood by and watched with a few melon-eaters who should also be tourists.

In all honesty, when he saw two groups of people from different camps stand together, and then the cowboy hat and big green pine confrontation scene started, Xu Xin had already defined this film.

bad movie.

From the unqualified Kung Fu movements of the two, which are so weak and aesthetically pleasing, to the close-ups where they have to pose for a concave shape after each movement, the acting skills of the cowboy hat and the big green pine are almost the same.

Then, the short-haired girl dressed as a woman, mixed with Zhao Liying into the crowd behind the big green pine, and seemed to be watching.

Xu Xin was speechless immediately.

There is a small **** behind the big green pine group.

Zhao Liying's stature is logically not that short, but she was directly blocked by all the group performers competing for the camera on the slope.

Over the past two years, she still hasn't learned how to fight for a camera?

However, the director seemed to have noticed something was wrong, so he yelled to stop, and adjusted the position on purpose.

But mainly to highlight the short hair.

Let the short hair stand in the second row behind the big green pine, and always keep her face in the camera.

As for Zhao Liying...she was overwhelmed again.

Then there is a literary drama.

Big Green Pine and Cowboy Hat's lines made him feel embarrassed and cancerous.

I really can't stand it.

Anyway... It took about half an hour to shoot the miscellaneous scenes, and this scene is considered finished. The end of the story should be that the cowboy hat failed and turned around and ran. There was also a traitor on the big green pine side, but he was caught by the short-haired girl.

To be honest, Xu Xin kept shaking his head, no matter in terms of appearance or acting skills, that big green pine.

In the last scene, Big Green Pine's companion started shouting the line: “Miss Tang, don't go, ah ha ha ha ha ha…” At the time, because the traitors were escorted away before, this group was already quite small. Under the fixed close-up of the lens, the big green pine, short hair, and the face of each bandit can be clearly seen.

Only Zhao Liying can't be seen...

Then, Da Lusong walked to the side of the short hair. When the filming started, the director discovered that there was no shadow of Zhao Liying...

It was fine-tuned again.

At any rate, he is the one who can see Zhao Liying.

In the end, Big Green Pine kissed the short-haired **** the cheek, and Zhao Liying made a surprised expression covering her mouth... This scene is over.

Xu Xin sighed helplessly.

What kind of bad movie is this...Although I didn't see the picture on the monitor, if the director can recognize this thing after shooting it...

Then admit it.

Anyway, it's not my crew, so why worry about it.

Every year, there are a sea of shoddy domestic films.

He was about to leave.

But out of the corner of his eye, he saw Dalusong and the short-haired girl leaving after the director called to stop, talking and laughing.

The group performers also dispersed.

Only Zhao Liying stood there for a few seconds before walking silently to the side with her head down.

After stepping aside, he picked up the script again.

Her script is very thin, only two or three pages.

Although he couldn't see the content clearly, he saw a lot of words written on the script.

The steps that were intended to leave also stopped.

Looking at the pitiful behavior of this little girl, for no reason, he remembered the way she and Zhang Jiao stood under the light for an hour or two without moving, and when they parted that night, the shining lights eyes.

"...Zhao Liying."

Xu Xin shouted.

Zhao Liying instinctively raised her head and looked in the direction of the voice.

Then I saw a boy wearing a peaked cap waving at her...

The boy...huh? ? ?

Suddenly, Zhao Liying blinked, thinking she was dazzled.

That is…

Director Xu...

Director Xu! ? ? ? ?

"Xu...Director Xu, you..."

Looking at the girl walking over anxiously, Xu Xin pointed to the two pages in her hand:

"Let me see."

Although the staff of the crew noticed this, they didn't pay attention to it.

After all, although Zhao Liying's role is small, she is at least a small supporting role. The two of them seem to know each other again, and one thing more is worse than one thing less.

Zhao Liying instinctively handed over her two pages of script.

The first line of words Xu Xin saw: "Love Kills Jiuhetang", Youlan.

This is the name of the episode and the name of the character played by Zhao Liying.

Beside "Youlan", there is a line of beautiful small characters: "Youlan in the empty valley", which should show a sense of tranquility without fighting or grabbing.

"Scene Eleven."

"Youlan pulled Yilin and urged her to say: Hurry up, they should be anxious if they can't find us in a while."——here "了" should be "la". It's like a childhood sweetheart.

"Yilin said: They won't be in a hurry, but my brother should be in a hurry if they can't find you."

"Youlan is a little shy: Yilin~~~"—Shake Yilin's hand, showing the meaning of acting like a baby. The director said that the movements should not be too big, and don't pretend to be cute.

"While they were talking, Yilin and Youlan saw the corpses of their tribe members who had been beheaded to death by the people of Jiuhetang. Youlan screamed in horror." ——Scream! ! ! Think Mr. Zombie! , Think about "The Grudge"! , Think about "Mountain Village Old Corpse"! ! Those dead bodies are real and scary! The expression should be frightened! Widen your eyes, raise your eyebrows, grin, and put your hand over your mouth! …

In just two pages, besides the printed script content, almost every line related to the character of "Youlan" is filled with notes...Hints can be used, hints can also be used.

As for Zhao Liying, when Xu Xin looked down at the script, her previous instincts and habits urged her not to even breathe, just like a student waiting for the teacher to correct her homework.

The fingertips holding the pen used to write on the script were already flushed from exertion.

Xu Xin didn't say a word, and continued to look down.

Soon I found the scene I watched just now:

"Act Thirty-Third."

"Yilin and Youlan squeezed into the crowd to observe what happened..." - Don't look around, you are not the main character, you just need to observe! Don't stare so wide, frown...

"Poof..."

Seeing this, Xu Xin finally burst out laughing.

Pointing to the line she wrote:

"Then do you know that because of the angle of your position, you looked very short among the men at first. After the shooting started, several people turned their shoulders slightly, let alone the camera, and you couldn't see it in your field of vision. Where are you? Everything you wrote is useless~"

Zhao Liying silently lowered her head.

Did not dare to speak.

She was actually quite pleasantly surprised.

Because I never expected to meet Director Xu here.

Although it sounds like an afterthought, when "The Unspeakable Secret" hit the theaters, she secretly vowed countless times that if she meets Director Xu again, she must leave a deep impression on him! Then…

Leave the contact information of the other party!

Unexpectedly, the two would meet again here.

Didn't expect... Director Xu was watching her performance just now.

All of a sudden, my mind felt a little empty.

All the "reunion plans", "impressive plans" and the like were overturned.

Can't remember anything.

Immediately afterwards, she heard Director Xu's helpless sigh:

"It's been so long, how can you still be taken over by someone?... You are also a supporting role, right? You were taken over by a group of extras. I saw you twice in one scene. You are a supporting role, you know? You say something to the group speaker: Lean to the side, blocking my lens. Is it difficult? Back then, you bought me a gift from China just to get a few more lenses? Where did you go?”

Zhao Liying didn't know what to say.

What can I say?

Said that this drama is an internal drama filmed by Liaoning TV station?

These people are basically from Liaoning TV station?

Can you say that these people are in a group, and you dare not provoke me as an outsider?

Can you say that you made this movie just for the 20,000 yuan salary?

I dare not say which one.

What did Director Xu think of me after I said that?

And Xu Xin didn't continue to "hate" her.

I just looked down at the densely packed two pages of handwriting, and asked casually:

"Where's Zhang Jiao? Are you two still in touch?"

"Uh... contacted! Jiaojiao is here too! She works in a clothing company! We live together, I... Shall I call her?"

With the help of this non-acting digression, Zhao Liying finally regained a bit of courage and raised her head:

"Director Xu...do you...do you have any scenes? I'm almost finished filming this scene...the two of us...can still be just replacements!"

Hearing this, Xu Xin had a half-smile:

"What else can I do? I've already become a supporting role, so you can still be a substitute for me?"

"able!"

Zhao Liying answered firmly:

"Only... as long as Director Xu needs us! Jiaojiao and I are fine!"

"...ha~"

Xu Xin smiled.

He didn't know why, but when he saw this girl, he always felt that this girl was very similar to "Zhao Linger".

It's not that she looks alike, but if she wears a hairstyle similar to Zhao Linger's and wears a white dress, she should look good.

I had this feeling before, but after seeing it today, the feeling is even stronger.

Now that she heard the other party's firm answer, even though she knew what she meant, Xu Xin was quite relieved:

"You live with Zhang Jiao? Don't you sign a company? Why do you still live in Hengdian?"

"I... basically live here. After all... there are more audition opportunities here. The company gives 300 yuan a month as a housing allowance, and Jiaojiao and I share a rent... and we can save this money."

"Is that so..."

Xu Xin nodded, and Zhao Liying, who had already plucked up her courage, asked again:

"Director Xu, how about...I give Jiaojiao a call?"

"Need not."

After returning the two pages of the script to her, Xu Xin shook his head:

"I didn't come here to film a movie or something, I just came here to have a look... Okay, I'm quite relieved to see that you two are still playing together and have such a good relationship.

As for this scene, since you have accepted it, you should take it well. When you should be tough, you have to be tough. If someone bullies you once and you don't resist, then what is waiting for you is not enough, but worse, understand?

You are not a newcomer to the industry anymore. When should you fight for something for yourself, don't back down. Because if you don't work hard and others are working hard, you won't be able to compete with others. "

As he spoke, he looked at the time on his watch and nodded:

"Come on, I'm leaving."

"Director Xu..."

He had just finished speaking, and when he was about to leave, Zhao Liying suddenly followed his words of "must up courage" and said quickly:

"Can I... get your phone number!"

When she said this, her **** eyes were full of determination.

But the next second quickly turned into apprehension and panic.

And an embarrassment.

Dog face...wouldn't it just change?

Xu Xin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:

"OK."

This time, the dog didn't bite her hand.

"Goodbye Director Xu, please go slowly."

Seeing Xu Xin leaving with her bag on her back, Zhao Liying felt a burst of joy in her heart.

Looking down at the many 6 phone numbers written on the back of the script, she was first surprised, then sighed, but immediately as if remembering something, she rolled up her sleeves, revealing her snow-white arms, and wrote the string of phone numbers on her arms. superior.

It is not enough to write a row.

Not guaranteed.

After finishing writing on the inner arm, write another string on the outer arm.

After double insurance, she repeated the string of phone numbers again and again.

Keep it in mind.

There is no way, today is a location scene, and she doesn't have an assistant or something. The bags containing mobile phones, wallets, and documents are all stored in the storage supermarket. The schoolbag was taken away.

This is her experience after having her personal belongings stolen three times.

The rivers and lakes in Hengdian...

There are always more bad people than good people.

After deeply memorizing these numbers in her mind and on her arms, she took a pen and hurriedly scratched and daubed the string of numbers on the script.

Later, after finding out that it couldn't be wiped clean no matter how much I wiped it off, I simply tore off the corner of the script.

Tear it into pieces, throw it on the ground, and crush it twice with your feet before it's over.

In this way, I won't be afraid that others will get the script and see Director Xu's phone number when I'm filming.

Zhao Liying is in a good mood.

Too good to be good.
