I'm a Director, I'm Not Bad Chapter 91

  Chapter 91 089. Light Replacement

  "White, only a golden peony on the corner of the skirt, and the belt looks like gold inlaid with jade, right?"

  Looking at the sketch in front of me, I also looked at the new version of the script of the first scene of the reunion between Prince Yuanjie and the Queen...Although the dialogue has not changed, there are many more scene descriptions.

  For example, the queen is embroidering chrysanthemums in front of a lonely lamp. This is easy to understand, and it expresses that kind of loneliness.

   Another example is that she is wearing a white gauze dress, which conceals the bold palace attire and replaces it with a restrained and graceful beauty while sleeping.

   Let alone.

  After seeing the script, Zhang Yimou had a picture in his mind.

   A look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes:

   "It's a good job...but this scene has to be added later. I'll make a few costumes and choose one."

"OK, all right."

  Xu Xin nodded, and couldn't help but yawned again.

  The crew entered the second day of filming, and everyone had to go to work earlier.

   Otherwise, according to yesterday's 8 or 9 o'clock wake up, to the crew to put on makeup or something, it might be noon.

  Xu Xin got it until 2 am yesterday, but unexpectedly, he was called up at 7 am today.

   It was Assistant Shen who called him, informing him that he was ready to leave.

   Didn't get enough sleep at all.

   After yawning, the car drove out of the hotel.

  Hengdian is not particularly busy in the morning, there are many cars, but not many people.

  Amidst his yawns, the car drove all the way to Daming Palace.

   After an unknown amount of time, when the car arrived, Xu Xin jumped out of the car in a daze.

   Only then did I realize... Director Zhang and the others came relatively late.

   When he arrived, Xu Xin first saw a big tent in the corner, dozens? Or one or two hundred girls, some of them have done the maid's bun, and some of them have a kind of relaxed looking hair, and they are going in and out of it. On the side, there are twenty or thirty make-up artists who are busy quickly, quickly tying different buns for each girl sitting on the chair.

   Clearly...these people should have come earlier.

   As soon as he reached the shadow of the main hall, he saw Jay Chou waving at him.

  It looks like a student greeting a teacher.

  He nodded, walked over, and looked away while walking, but suddenly found...

   Only Jay Chou's car was there, and Zhou Renfa, Gong Li, Liu Ye, and Ni Dahong's team seemed to be absent.

"morning."

   "Morning... I didn't realize until I woke up in the morning that I had a basketball date with you today."

   While speaking, he handed Xu Xin a bottle of water.

  Ice is cold.

  Xu Xin nodded, put water on his forehead to wake himself up, and then said:

   "I have good news and bad news, which one do you listen to?"

   "... Good news, can you not tell me the bad news?"

  Hearing this, Xu Xin was happy:

   "It's a good idea... The good news is that I went to bed very late last night because of changing the script, and I didn't go to bed until 2 in the morning, so I didn't play ball or go to the gym... You don't have to feel guilty or uneasy."

   The corner of Jay Chou's mouth twitched...

   He was originally polite.

   It turned out that this guy is really good at chatting...

   So he continued to ask:

   "What about the bad news?"

   "The bad news is that the scene where you met your mother for the first time was filmed yesterday because of Mr. Gong. So... you have to do it all over again in a few days."

  Xu Xin's words revealed a bit of schadenfreude.

   And what he said originally meant that Gong Li was going to remake it.

   But who would have thought that after hearing this, Jay Chou suddenly asked:

   "Reshoot? Sister Gong Li has a conflict with Director Zhang?"

  Xu Xin was taken aback for a moment... Then he realized why the other party asked such a question, and quickly shook his head:

   "That's not true."

   "...We are friends, I have seen them quarreling, are you still hiding it from me?"

   "...A friend who doesn't even have a contact information?"

  Xu Xin looked at him amusedly, and then saw Jay Chou winking at him frantically...

   Suddenly understood what was going on, he glanced at the security personnel who were looking at him, and nodded:

"I didn't hide it from you. There really was no conflict between the two of you. The reason for the reshoot was that the scene was changed. As for...what's going on, I don't know how to tell you. What I can confirm with you is that Director Zhang and Gong Teacher Li is fine."

   "Then it should be a problem with the actor who hasn't appeared yet?"

   Looking at the little heavenly king in front of him in surprise.

"what?"

   Jay Chou shrugged:

   "Surprised I can guess?"

   "...It's really surprising. I read on the news that you are not sociable."

   "I have a lot of friends."

   Jay Chou can't laugh or cry:

   "Aren't we too?"

   "I didn't see you invite me to dinner then."

   "Then do you want to eat together at noon, I still have sausage stuffed by my grandma~"

   "By the way, can I tell you about a play?"

   "Yes~"

   "Then you are very smart."

   "...please, this is not the way to use a locomotive~"

  Anyway, the crew hadn't started filming yet, so the two were chatting aside.

   And what Jay Chou cares most about is the "invisible" thing brewing in the crew... Unfortunately, his bodyguards are too close, and Xu Xin can't tell.

   After chatting for a while, Xu Xin saw Liu Guodong walking out of the palace with a walkie-talkie:

   "You can come in now, I'll have someone open the door for you... If you don't have a job right now, go open the palace door and let the clothing cart come in."

  He ran out quickly.

   Clothes car?

  A costume puller?

   Just thinking about it, I heard Jay Chou next to me say:

   "It's spectacular..."

"What?"

  Xu Xin turned his head to follow the direction he was looking at, only to realize... at some point, the group performers in the big tent had already come out.

  Everyone is tied with a mix of real hair and wigs, looking like a phalanx standing on the square.

   Jay Chou turned to Xu Xin and said:

   "Whether it's the MV or the movie I acted in Wanwan Province, there have never been so many people... It's really hard to imagine how to schedule so many people at the same time."

   "So it's not easy to be a director."

  Looking at those girls as well, Xu Xin said with emotion.

   "Aren't you also a director?"

"Yeah. But I don't have the experience of conducting with so many people... This kind of mise-en-scène, just like your music production team, has to have a division of labor, understand? You have to have a mature team, and everyone is responsible for it." Things are so clear that there is no confusion."

   "That's why Director Zhang is so powerful."

  Xu Xin nodded with empathy.

  Then, the palace door opened, and both of them saw a van driving in.

  It drove to the side of those group performers and stopped.

  The driver jumped down and opened the back door of the container.

   Then, Liu Guonan raised the speaker in his hand:

   "Everyone, everyone queues up to get the clothes, be careful, don't break them, you know! After receiving the clothes, don't wear them, all of them enter the palace, be careful of the clothes, and compensate according to the price if it is broken!"

   "What are you playing today?"

  Suddenly, Xu Xin turned to Jay Chou.

   "There is no play for me today."

"…Um?"

  Xu Xin was taken aback:

   "No show for you? Then why are you here?"

   "Learning~"

   Jay Chou said with a smile:

"I had a chat with Fa Ge before...not asking for advice, just chatting, just asking him about his filming in the past. He would come to the film crew even if he had a film, because he was a young actor at that time, and he would have more opportunities when he came to the film crew. His acting skills came from watching other people's performances when he was not playing, and he figured it out a little bit. Besides, no matter whether it's eating or doing something in the hotel, there are always people asking for autographs and group photos, so it's quieter here."

  Hearing this, although Xu Xin recognized his attitude, he still did not forget to add:

   "I still have a hundred CDs over there."

   The corner of Jay Chou's mouth twitched...

   "Why do you want so much?"

   "I won't be able to get along in this business in the future, so I'll make money by selling your autograph."

   "...please~"

   "Hahahaha~"

  Xu Xin laughed out loud, and on the side of the group performers, the sets of clothes in the car were also picked up by these people.

   None of them are new, dozens of people wore them yesterday.

  But it is naturally impossible for the actors to take away the costumes of these court ladies, so they have to be collected and distributed uniformly.

   But he didn't see what those people used to send their hair yesterday, so he found out today... It turns out that in this scene, even the clothes of the extras could fill a small truck...

   "Xu Xin."

  At this time, Xu Xin heard someone calling him, turned his head, smiled and nodded:

   "Brother Lin."

   "Well, hello Jaylen."

   "Hello Assistant Lin."

  After everyone greeted each other, Xu Xin asked:

   "Brother Lin, what's the matter?"

"Yes, Director Zhang asked me to call you...Jay Lun is also here, he is adjusting the lights in the Queen's room right now, and asked you to find a replacement light... If Jay Lun is busy, he is looking for Jay Lun's light for."

   "... Guangwei?"

   Jay Chou was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously stuttered:

   "Just... to be naked?"

  As soon as he said this, he saw Assistant Lin's surprised eyes, and Xu Xin's speechless and disgusted face:

   "Brother, the light substitute is used by the director to use the actor's prototype as a reference for lighting adjustment. What you are talking about is a naked substitute!"

Then…

   This buddy's face suddenly became wonderful.

  Xu Xin had no choice but to:

   "Your thinking... Hey, what do you say to the rogue?"

   Jay Chou said in his heart that I can still tell you, and then let you use the words I taught you to pour a basin of sewage on myself?

   simply rolled his eyes:

   "Xu Xin."

   "I pooh~"

  Xu Xin is bigger than him:

   "You play really well."

   "Haha~"

   Assistant Lin couldn't help laughing, and then asked:

   "I came to you just to ask you, do you want that girl from yesterday?"

"don't want."

  Xu Xin shook his head without thinking:

   "Sheng Mien Dou Michou, this girl brought me a Chinese cigarette yesterday... I'll choose."

   "Okay, then hurry up, Director Zhang is still waiting there."

"Um."

  As Assistant Lin left, Xu Xin pouted:

   "Let's go, I'll take you to pick out beauties."

"I also need to go?"

   "Go ahead and pick some pleasing ones by the way. If I remember correctly, you seem to have a **** scene, right?"

   "It's not a naked show, it's a bath!"

   After all, Jay Chou followed him down the steps.

   "The people in Wanwan Province really live in dire straits...Do you take off your clothes even in the shower?"

   "Wow, you really are..."

   "Hahaha~"

  The two of them chatted, laughed, and walked step by step to the group performers who were still receiving their clothes.

  Xu Xin first greeted Liu Guonan:

   "Director Liu, I'm here to find Guangtai."

"okay."

  Liu Guonan nodded, but didn't say much.

   And the girls here...

   It can be seen that the appearance of Jay Chou made the girls very restless.

  But because he was on the set, he didn't dare to mess around, so he could only stare at him.

   Of course, there are exceptions.

  Zhao Liying in the second row stared straight at Director Xu.

  Unfortunately, Xu Xin didn't look at her.

   Instead, they are looking for someone who is about the same height as Gong Li. As for how he knows Gong Li's height and figure... Are you making an international joke, is our old Xu blind?

  Even if a girl puts a bucket on her body, our old Xu can still know how much meat she has!

   This is the dignity of being a second-generation **** scumbag!

  Looked left and right, and finally, he locked on a girl.

   "The third row, the fourth from the right, you come out."

  Some extra performers in the front row turned their heads subconsciously.

   Zhao Liying's face turned pale in the second row.

   His eyes were full of disappointment.

  As for the girl who was pointed out, her face was full of bewilderment and bewilderment.

   After Xu Xin saw the person he ordered came out, he turned his head and whispered to Jay Chou:

   "Choose, choose a few pleasing ones to serve you in the shower."

  To be honest, Jay Chou's face is a bit green.

  Brother, do you have to say this in broad daylight?

  Although you are very quiet...

  Seeing that he was silent, Xu Xin asked in bewilderment:

   "Not satisfied? Give you another batch?"

   What kind of comments from regular customers in the red light district are these!

  Are you a madam?

  He quickly shook his head:

"Do not make jokes."

"…Fine."

  Xu Xin hooked his hands at the girl:

   "You follow me."

   After speaking, he and Jay Chou were in front, and the girl with a dazed face was behind, and everyone walked towards the hall.

   After walking for a while, he turned to look at the girl who dared not speak, and asked:

"what's your name?"

   "Hi director, my name is Zhang Jiao."

  The girl quickly bowed to say hello.

  Xu Xin nodded and asked:

   "Do you know what a photoreplacement is?"

"…ah?"

  Seeing that the girl's face turned pale, she took a step back subconsciously:

   "Director... director... I... don't shoot **** scenes..."

   "Poof..."

  Hearing her words, Xu Xin was speechless.

   But after Jay Chou couldn't help but burst out laughing, Xu Xin was completely helpless.

  Looking at the girl with eyes full of resistance, he said helplessly:

   "Who told you that Guangwei was filming **** scenes?...Don't laugh, if I don't explain to you, you are just like her."

  The first half of the sentence is to Zhang Jiao, and the second half is to Jay Chou.

   These two big grudges...

   After finishing speaking, he looked at the girl again:

"Guangwei, you are the lighting substitute for an actor. When the director arranges the lighting of the set or adjusts the camera position, you as the light substitute stand in place of the actor. Do you understand? You are talking about naked substitutes! "

"ah?"

  The girl was stunned for a moment, and a trace of panic appeared in her eyes:

   "Sorry sorry, director...sorry, I don't know, the first time I heard this word...then..."

   "Well, it's okay."

  Xu Xin waved his hand:

   "Just do it well in a while."

   "Uh... well, thank you director for giving me this opportunity!"

"fine."

   He shook his head first, but he suddenly stopped and said:

"The light replacement is very hard. Unless the director is very accurate in the lighting adjustment on the scene, sometimes you often have to stand in one position for several hours. But it is the fastest way for the director to remember your position from an unknown actor. So ...keep humble, don't look impatient, do it well, you know?"

   Zhang Jiao was taken aback when she heard this...

   Then there was a touch of gratitude in the eyes:

   "Thank you director, I understand, don't worry, I will do well."

   "Well, come on. Let's go~"

   "Director Zhang, someone is here."

   Returning to the queen's room, Xu Xin found Zhang Yimou in front of a group of busy staff.

  Zhang Yimou turned his head and took a look at the respectful girl who was still holding a costume in her hand.

   After looking up and down carefully, he nodded.

  The person must have found the right one.

   This girl's figure is very similar to Gong Li.

"OK."

  he asked:

"what is it call?"

   "Hi director, my name is Zhang Jiao!"

"good."

   After writing down the name, Zhang Yimou said:

   "Let's go and change clothes first. After filming in the morning, Xiao Lin, tell Guo Nan that she will be Gong Li's replacement in the future. Take her to apply for a work permit."

   "Oh, I see, Director Zhang."

   Assistant Lin nodded and said to Zhang Jiao:

   "Bring over your ID card and two photocopies tomorrow."

   "Okay okay."

   "Go, go back, come here after lunch."

   "Hmm... then... the director, I'll go first."

  Zhang Jiao bowed politely, and left quickly with a feeling of indecision.

  When Zhang Yimou was about to talk to Xu Xin about the lighting problem of the final remake, Assistant Shen walked over while holding the phone and saying, "Hmm, no problem, okay".

   When he came to Zhang Yimou, he hung up the phone and said;

"Director Zhang, Dean Zheng wants to send a few doctors over for free, and at the same time wants to promote emergency medical training. Isn't summer coming soon? On the one hand, he heard that our crew has a lot of people, and he is afraid that the actors will suffer from heat stroke. problems, on the other hand...mainly to take some promotional photos..."

"Can."

  Zhang Yimou naturally knew what was going on with Dean Zheng.

  Training publicity is a political achievement.

   And several accompanying doctors are thanks and guarantee.

   "Then let's arrange these two days, don't delay the business."

   "Hey, okay, then I will reply to him in the afternoon."

   "Look at it."

  Such a trivial matter naturally won't worry Zhang Yimou:

   "Xiao Xu, I just thought about your scene..."

   "Yimou."

  Zhang Yimou was about to pull Xu Xin to say something when he was suddenly interrupted again.

  He turned his head to see...

  Producer Jiang Zhiqiang is walking this way.

   His complexion is not very good-looking.

  Xu Xin thought about it...

   After thinking for a while, he said directly:

   "Director Zhang, I'll take Jay to give a lecture."

   "...Okay, you go."

  Zhang Yimou nodded, while Xu Xin pulled Jay Chou out of the room.

  The two walked a few steps away, and Xu Xin vaguely heard a name:

   "Li Man, she..."

   After thinking for a while, Xu Xin took out his mobile phone, and after walking out of the palace, he said:

   "I'll make a call."

   Jay Chou tilted his head and looked at him, as if he was thinking.

   then nodded:

   "Okay, if you need help, you can tell me."

  Xu Xin was stunned for a moment... looked at him quite unexpectedly:

"good."

   "Well, at that moment, I asked Dani to ask you for your contact information...you understand."

  Looking at the bodyguards who surrounded him again, Xu Xin responded:

"Um."

"Ten days? What international joke are you making? Why do you think I waited for ten days? If it wasn't for something wrong with her side, the scene of the court lady was released together with the fighting scene! I have changed the shooting plan, and now you want I have to wait ten days?"

  Zhang Yimou frowned completely, and there was a substantive dissatisfaction in his tone:

   "What are you doing? It must be her, right?"

   "Yimou, don't worry, Weiping is also quite angry..."

  As soon as Jiang Zhiqiang said this, Zhang Yimou frowned even tighter:

   "But there is no way, who knows why the mosquitoes in Hengdian are so poisonous..."

   "Would she be able to do this if she wasn't led by the agent to run around the crew!?"

   directly interrupted Jiang Zhiqiang's words, Zhang Yimou shook his head:

   "It's impossible in ten days. I have at most two more days after the filming of today's court lady scene. If it doesn't work, then I have to change someone. Didn't you see Gong Li like yesterday?"

   "It's okay, I was talking to her... She doesn't like Weiping, so why not give you face?... Yimou, you also know how much work we have delayed because of you taking over the Olympics..."

   "Zhiqiang, if you say this, I'm really going to lose my temper!"

  As soon as he mentioned this, Zhang Yimou's expression became serious.

   interrupted his words without hesitation, fixed his eyes on Jiang Zhiqiang and said word by word:

"The Olympics is a matter for our country. Any personal gain or loss must be discarded in front of the country. Understand? Even if this movie is not filmed, I have to do a good job at the Olympics. If you want to talk about this, you can tell Weiping directly. Don't talk to me about things, you go to Gong Li's work, don't talk to me, I can't keep an eye on the crew, and I have to help you deal with the personal problems of the actors you hired. Okay?"

   "Hey, Yimou, no, I didn't mean that..."

  Hearing this, Jiang Zhiqiang immediately panicked, but Zhang Yimou waved his hand:

"Okay, you guys go talk to Gong Li yourself. The lady-in-waiting scene will be very troublesome in a while. I don't care about Li Man's affairs. Counting today, it's only three days at most. If you can't communicate, I'll replace you. "

   "Hey, Yimou... Yimou!"

  Jiang Zhiqiang turned up the volume, but still failed to stop Zhang Yimou from leaving.

  But he couldn't continue shouting anymore, because other people had already looked over.

"…well!"

  He scratched his head in frustration, and quickly walked out with the phone in hand.

   "Mr. Gong, this is the situation anyway. I'll just tell you, as long as you know."

   Specially asked Sister Wei to run for him. After getting Gong Li's contact information, Xu Xin, with a cigarette in his mouth, explained the situation just now in detail.

   And Gong Li on the other end of the phone didn't have any emotion in her voice, she just responded:

   "Okay, I got it...Xiao Xu, I won't go if I don't have a show this morning. But I will be there this afternoon. Didn't you say you have a good relationship with Jay Lun yesterday?"

  Xu Xin's mouth twitched...

   "Well, I understand, Mr. Gong, you can rest assured."

   "I'm sure you can do things without worry. Of course, I won't make it difficult for you. Give me the phone number of your classmate, and I'll talk to her."

"no."

  Xu Xin rejected her request without hesitation:

   "Mr. Gong, my classmate joined our crew because of me. When there is no such thing at the beginning, at most, she will come here for a cameo. She doesn't understand anything, so there is no need to get involved in this kind of thing."

  He understood what Gong Li meant.

   It's very simple, Gong Li wants to put Yang Mi in her camp.

As for the reason...whether it is to disgust Zhang Weiping, let him watch "your people are gone, but mine is here", or put on a big sister and tell others "I am covering this little girl" "...

   Neither is a good thing for Yang Mi.

  Zhang Weiping is not a simple character either.

  If it were really simple, he wouldn't be able to make it to today.

   At first glance, this matter looks very good, but in fact...even if Yang Mi really becomes a "mou girl" in the end, she will be hated by Zhang Weiping.

   It is really unnecessary.

  And the best solution to this matter, or in essence, is the conflict between you Gong Li and Zhang Weiping.

   The conflict between the two of you, you two resolve it.

  Even if Yang Mi gets the role in the end, she must give everyone an answer of "This is the person selected by Director Zhang".

  Zhang Weiping did not dare to do anything to Zhang Dao, because the two were equal partners.

  Even if his Li Man was replaced, as long as it wasn't from Gong Li's side, he would hate it at most, but he wouldn't do anything.

   But if Yang Mi was labeled as Gong Li.

  It looks good at first glance, but there are endless troubles.

  So, Xu Xin refused without hesitation.

   And, in the most firm tone, tell Gong Li:

   Don't try to put the fire on this girl.

she.

  I got it!
