I'm a Director, I'm Not Bad Chapter 96

  Chapter 96 094. Super-dimensional magic love campus story

  Xu Xin was really tired.

  Because Zhang Yimou did not know where he got an inspiration from yesterday, and he wanted to hold a link of "the water of the Yellow River comes from the sky".

   But it does not mean that the water from the Yellow River is really drawn out, but through some form of expression, it expresses the concept that the Yellow River, the mother river, gave birth to Chinese civilization.

   Then I chatted with Xu Xin until 1 o'clock in the morning.

   It was 2 o'clock when Xu Xin finished his work and lay down on the bed.

  But when we wake up in the morning, Zhang Yimou looks energetic...

  Xu Xin was quite speechless.

  Although it is said that people feel less when they get older, it is not so exaggerated, right?

  As for today's journey, he could tell that Zhang Yimou was in a particularly good mood.

   It's quite a bit light-packed.

Gong Li seems to be the same, when the two of them came to the palace and saw the queen who was being made up by Wen Runling who was called "Aunt Wen" by Yang Mi, although the makeup looked luxurious and serious, she looked at Zhang Yi. When seeking to make peace with Xu Xin, his face was full of smiles.

   looked equally happy.

   "Xiao Xu, where's your little girlfriend? Bring it here for us to see."

  Xu Xin was speechless, but Zhang Yimou said angrily:

   "Anyway, you are also an elder, how can you say that about children."

   "Yo yo yo, am I going to grow up now? I kind of hope that Xiao Xu will call me sister."

  Zhang Yimou simply rolled his eyes.

  Xu Xin also smiled awkwardly, and said:

   "Mr. Gong, it's really not a boyfriend and girlfriend... I'm saying that the person was chosen by Director Zhang. If you say this, people who don't know will think that my classmate was recruited by me."

  He mentioned Gong Li cryptically.

   If you don't believe me, Gong Li can't hear it.

  After Gong Li heard this, she didn't continue to talk about it, but said:

   "Yimou, when will the group play be filmed?"

   "I asked them to arrange it last night, the day after tomorrow at the latest."

"OK."

  Gong Li glanced at Xu Xin again, and nodded in agreement.

   Then, Zhou Renfa, Chen Jin, Ni Dahong and others all came, but only Zhou Jielun and Yang Mi were missing.

  Xu Xin thought about it, got up and walked out.

   At a glance, he saw that Jay Chou's car had arrived, but he was nowhere to be seen.

  He was looking around, looking for someone.

  Because of "Jiang Chan", everyone in the production team has a part in the show today. Now everyone is here. If he is late...it's not good.

   As a result, I saw Dani walking down from the carriage.

  She and Jay Chou are always inseparable. Seeing her here, Jay Chou should be in the car.

  He walked directly down the steps.

   "Dani."

   From a long distance, he shouted.

  Da Ni turned her head, and when she saw Xu Xin, she nodded and ran over quickly:

   "Teacher Xu!"

   "Well, where's Jaylen?"

"Well…"

  Dani pointed to the inside of the car:

   "Brother JAY is on the phone with the company, and the company... is still discussing the renewal of the contract."

   It was Jay Chou who told Xu Xin about the contract, so she didn't hide it.

   Seeing this, Xu Xin looked at her embarrassed face again, and suddenly said:

   "What about you? Want him to renew?"

  His question was actually quite abrupt.

  Da Ni was taken aback for a moment, her lips moved, and she smiled insincerely:

   "Brother Jay just makes a decision, I'll follow him."

   "Is that so..."

  Xu Xin nodded and pointed to the inside of the car:

   "Then go up and tell him that the director team is looking for him."

"…ah?"

   "Go quickly. Director Zhang is looking for him."

   "Oh, ok ok."

  Thinking that what Xu Xin said was true, Dani hurried into the car and closed the door by the way.

  The vigilance is quite high.

   Not long after that, Jay Chou and the Four King Kong walked down together.

   There was still a hint of displeasure on his face.

   But after seeing Xu Xin, he forced a smile:

   "Hey, early."

   "Well, the other actors are all here, and Jiang Chan's role is also here, so you are the only one missing, let's go."

  Xu Xin pouted when he turned around, signaling him to follow him.

  Jay Chou nodded:

"Um."

  The two stood side by side, and Dani was three or four steps away, firmly pressing the Four King Kongs behind her.

  As Xu Xin walked over there, he said in a leisurely manner:

"in argument?"

   Jay Chou was silent for a while, and then responded:

"Um."

   After walking a few more steps, he suddenly said:

   "I will release a new album in September."

   "Oh~~"

  Xu Xin showed a sudden realization, and said:

   "The company let you?"

   "...No, I want to send it myself."

  Xu Xin looked at him quite unexpectedly, and said:

   "That's the best of humanity."

   Now, Jay Chou was really surprised.

  Looked at Xu Xin several times, then laughed:

   "Hey, I beg you one thing."

"What?"

   "Director Zhang came to me yesterday and said that it was the bad news you said that day that the reshoot was going to happen. In fact, he felt that there was something wrong with the reunion scene between Prince Jie and the Queen Mother in the palace. The scene was changed, so we need to reshoot it?"

   "Well, what's up?"

   "I... have a script. I wrote it myself. Would you like to read it for me?"

  Xu Xin raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard this:

   "You wrote it yourself?"

"right."

   Jay Chou nodded.

"what type?"

"Well…"

  Hearing this question, Jay Chou thought for a while... It seemed that he was looking for a vocabulary summary.

   After walking seven or eight steps, he said:

   "A campus story of magical love in time and space."

  Xu Xin was dumbfounded.

   "What the hell? . . . are you talking once?"

   "Uh...magic...a campus love story in time and space..."

   Jay Chou obviously didn't expect that the other party would ask him to say it again, so he stuttered a bit.

   "Isn't it a school story of magical love in time and space?"

   "...Huh? Right...huh?"

  He nodded first, but immediately felt that something was wrong, showing a speechless expression:

   "Is there a difference between the two?"

   "It's not bad, it's just... the same rush~"

  Jay Chou rolled his eyes when he heard Xu Xin's awkward and crooked voice:

   "Please, you really **** at learning my accent."

   "I know my accent is bad, but why do I think you are so... the campus magic love story in time and space is even worse?"

   "It's a campus story of magical love in time and space..."

   "There is no difference between the two."

   Now, Jay Chou was even more speechless, and... for some reason, his face was still a little red:

   "Can you help me?"

   “…Where is the script?”

  Hearing what Xu Xin said, Jay Chou showed a smile on his face:

   "I'll send you EMAIL later? Text me your EMAIL."

"…Fine."

  Although he didn't know what kind of campus love and magic time-lapse story this was, Xu Xin still agreed.

  Even if this theme...it reveals a taste of rushing to the street at first glance.

   And at this moment, the two also walked up the steps.

   "You don't wear makeup?"

   "There is no play for me this morning, in the afternoon..."

   "Oh yes, you have to ask the maid to wait for you to take a bath at night."

   Jay Chou's eyes became a little strange.

  Xu Xin laughed:

   "Haha, do you want me to help you pick some good-looking ones?"

   "It's outrageous, you. Outrageous!"

   "Hahaha~"

   Talking and laughing, the two went up the steps, but Xu Xin stopped walking...

  Looking at Yang Mi who was hovering at the entrance of the main hall, she asked in bewilderment:

   "What are you doing?"

  Yang Mi instinctively turned her head. When she saw Xu Xin, she first breathed a sigh of relief.

  But when she saw Jay Chou next to Xu Xin, the expression on her face suddenly became exciting again:

   "You... Zhou... You... ah..."

  Looking at the beautiful but unfamiliar girl in front of him, Jay Chou looked at Xu Xin puzzled:

   "Friend?"

   Xu Xin was silent, speechless, and rolled his eyes:

   "Look at your worthless look."

   These words were addressed to Yang Mi, followed by Jay Chou:

   "My classmate, the new Jiang Chan's role-player—Yang Mi. Nicknamed the Second Fool...why are you so tight-lipped?"

  Looking at the girl wearing a long-sleeved jacket over a palace attire, Xu Xin tilted her head in wonder.

   “…sun protection.”

  Yang Mi first explained something, and then began to pass things to him frantically with her eyes.

  I didn't care about it at all...or I didn't hear the nickname "Second Idiot" in Xu Xin's mouth at all.

   is like saying:

   "Jay Chou is right next to you!"

   "Get me an autograph!"

"ah!!"

   "I like him so much!"

  Xu Xin pretended not to see it, but Jay Chou smiled and stretched out his hand:

   "Hello, classmate."

  Yang Mi's face turned red instantly.

   Pure excitement.

  I was so excited that I wanted to jump up...

   Quickly stretched out his hand, grabbed Jay Chou and would not let go.

   "I...I like you so much! Really! Can you sign me!... Just sign on the clothes, okay? I don't want this clothes!"

  The corners of their mouths twitched at the same time.

  Yang Mi also realized that she had said something wrong, so she quickly shook her head:

   "No, no, I won't wash the clothes!"

"Well…"

"Don't talk to her... okay, I'll take you in first, and after the filming is over, you can ask him to write his signature on your face. Okay? Hurry up, the actors are here, don't delay. Also, When you get inside, you take off your clothes, it's very generous.”

  Forcibly interrupting the girl's star-chasing scene, Xu Xin shook his head helplessly, and took the lead in stepping into the hall.

  He walked in front, Jay Chou was behind, and Yang Mi was at the end.

   Jay Chou, who was walking in the middle, walked two steps after entering the door, and felt a gust of wind coming from the back of his head.

   Turning her head subconsciously, she saw that the girl had already taken off the sun protection coat.

   man...

  He lowered his head and took a glance unconsciously...

  He immediately froze, and turned his head without squinting.

   also coughed a little embarrassingly:

   "Cough."

  The sound made Xu Xin also turn his head.

  Pure instinct.

  But it's just like this looking back...

   There was a look on his face like a bolt from the blue.

I…

  My mother!

   shame...

  When I realized that the picture I saw seemed real...

   Although he fell into a sluggish.

   But it didn't last long...

   Jay Chou is very understanding.

   Anyway, it's not good for you to look at others like this.

  So he directly stopped Xu Xin who stopped sideways:

"gone."

  Forcibly pulled Xu Xin forward, but the two of them didn't notice the smug look in Yang Mi's eyes from behind.

   Hum.

  I still keep the text message from you saying that my body proportion is not dominant.

   See it?

  Come on, answer me now out loud:

   "Do I have an advantage?"

   "The advantage is not big!"

   hum ~

   "Hi brother Fa, I'm Yang Mi, playing the role of Jiang Chan, please take care of me."

   "Well, hello, work hard."

   "Thank you. Please give me your advice~"

   "Hi brother Liu Ye, I'm Yang Mi, playing the role of Jiang Chan, please give me your advice."

   "Oh... hello... I'll read the script first."

   "Uh... ok, you're busy then."

   "Hello, Teacher Ni..."

   "Hello, Mr. Chen..."

  As a newcomer actor, Yang Mi respectfully walked up to several leading actors, introduced herself politely, and said hello.

   Behaved in a mess.

   Finally, she came to Gong Li:

   "Ms. Gong Li, hello..."

   "Mimi, right?"

   Before she could introduce herself, Gong Li put down the script and looked at the girl in front of her with a smile.

   Nodding while watching:

   "Well, yes, you're in good spirits. Don't be nervous for a while, keep your hands steady, hold the tray steady, and I'll have a movement of pushing the cup. Once you hold it securely, you'll be fine, you know?"

  A surprise flashed in Yang Mi's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a kind look:

   "Thank you, Mr. Gong, for your guidance, I will remember it!"

"Um."

  Gong Li smiled and nodded, then glanced at Xu Xin who was talking to Jay Chou with the script in his hand, and said:

   "If you encounter something you don't understand, it's the same to ask Xiao Xu."

   "Hmm~"

  Yang Mi's eyes narrowed into crescent moons.

  In the words of Jay Chou:

   "Hey, look at her super happy~"

  The first scene between the queen and Jiang Chan.

   is in the corridor of the palace.

  The queen came out of the prince's bedroom, just at "Yin time", and met Jiang Chan holding the medicine in the corridor.

   Then there is the plot of the queen taking medicine.

  Xu Xin is sitting behind Zhang Yimou, while the camera is at one end of the corridor.

  Yang Mi is already in place.

  A row of court ladies behind them also held their trays.

   Li Cai was still telling the people behind:

"In a moment, Jiang Chan will serve the medicine first, Mimi, you will speak first, Zhang Jiao, you kneel down, hold up the tray, Mimi, you first put the strainer on top of the cup, then pour the medicinal soup into the bowl, you kneel down Give it to the queen first, and then wait for the queen to put the bowl on your tray, get up, take a small step to the right, back slowly, walk steadily, don't fall..."

  He also paid special attention to it.

  Yang Mi nodded quickly:

   "Oh, I see."

"Well, then Zhang Jiao and you too, you are holding a tea bowl to the queen, and you are also taking a small step to the right, and walking back. Then you, Zhao Liying, hold the golden basin, you have to hold it higher, and wait for the queen to finish vomiting. Drooling, step back to the right... and you, step forward with the handkerchief and also step back to the right... Remember it?"

  Li Cai covered it up himself, and the maids quickly nodded to express that they remembered.

   And Li Cai pointed to the cross tape on the carpet. After confirming the location, the scene can almost start.

  Yang Mi stood where she was and took a deep breath.

   "Hoo..."

  She didn't chat with the actors behind. At this moment, she has completely entered Jiang Chan's state.

   Look calm.

  The hand holding the tray didn't even shake.

   Right behind her, Zhang Jiao's eyes fell on the back of the neck of the girl named "Mimi" in front.

   There was also a bit of tension in his eyes.

   After thinking about it, she turned her head and glanced behind her.

as expected…

   Baozi's face turned pale.

   After thinking for a while, she whispered:

   "Come on, take it easy! We can do it!"

  Zhao Liying didn't know whether she listened or not. On the contrary, after hearing this, Yang Mi turned her head and looked at Zhang Jiao, and nodded:

"Um."

  Zhang Jiao was taken aback...

   But it was too late to think about it.

   "Departments prepare for..."

   "When~~"

   "The wind and rain are like darkness, and the government and the countryside are full. Pingdan, Yinshi~"

  When the voice sounded, Yang Mi lowered her brows and eyes, and walked in the spacious corridor, leading the maids behind, passing by the eunuchs who told the time.

  Men are on the left and women are on the right.

  Inside the lens.

  The entire resplendent palace corridor is as beautiful as a picture scroll.

   And in the picture scroll, it's all milky white…

   Xu Xin shook his head instinctively, and looked away from the girl in the monitor.

   took a deep breath.

   "OK, pass."

   Liu Guonan's voice sounded.

  As the director's photography assistant, he has been in charge of the set scheduling under Zhang Yimou for several years. As for cutscenes like this, Zhang Yimou doesn't need to stare anymore.

  He is not a particularly authoritarian man.

  Not to mention Liu Guonan, this kind of cutscene, Xu Xin can also shoot.

  Because it does not have any technical content, it only needs a fixed camera position, and it is enough to shoot the moving actors.

  So, after the effect was achieved, Liu Guonan directly yelled to stop, which means that this item has passed.

   Unexpectedly smooth.

  Zhang Yimou did not pick any different opinions, but turned his head and said to Xu Xin:

   "Xiao Yang's camera sense is very good."

"…Um."

  Xu Xin also nodded in agreement.

   After all, I have been acting since I was a child, so it is normal to have this sense of camera and rhythm.

  He knew what Director Zhang was talking about.

   It's Yang Mi's pace.

  No one told her how to walk, but Jiang Chan, who was carrying the medicine, wanted to be "punctual", so her pace was very fast.

   It formed a sharp contrast with the eunuchs walking slowly beside them.

  Although it is impossible for an expert to know if there is a shot, it is obvious that Yang Mi has grasped such small details.

   "Cast change."

  Liu Guonan held the walkie-talkie and said:

   "Others in place."

   Following his words, Yang Mi, who was still holding a pot of sour plum soup in her hand, subconsciously glanced at Xu Xin.

as expected.

  Xu Xin has already raised two very cryptic thumbs up.

  She smiled slightly, full of charm.

  Corridor corner.

  The girl who was standing in front of her head waiting for the camera to start shooting suddenly heard someone whispering from behind:

   "It's so simple."

   She turned her head and looked again.

   It was the girl with the big eyes who said it.

   When the other party saw her turn around, she quickly shut up.

  Yang Mi didn't say a word, but continued to remain silent, waiting for Gong Li and the others on the other side of the corridor to get ready.

soon.

everything's ready.

  With the recording of the scene, the filming begins.

  She took a more hurried pace this time than before, walking forward step by step in small steps.

   Zhang Jiao quickly followed.

   But Zhao Liying obviously paused.

   And she paused, and the few people behind couldn't leave even if they wanted to, and the team was pulled apart a bit.

   "Crack!"

   Liu Guonan yelled to stop.

   Frowning and looking at Yang Mi displeasedly, he said:

   "The third one, concentrate on it."

  Zhao Liying turned pale and nodded quickly.

  Yang Mi looked back this time, saw the nervous look of the girl who looked a little uneasy, and thought about it...

  No sound.

   "Do it again, Mimi, back to the original position."

"OK."

  Yang Mi nodded.

   "Well, hit the board... come on, three, two, one..."

"Walk!"

  The moment the board fell, Yang Mi whispered.

   Neither big nor small.

   Just six people heard it.

  After hearing this order, they walked forward in unison this time.

  Even Zhao Liying, who was very nervous just now for fear that she was making a mistake, followed this order and walked forward.

  The picture is harmonious at once.

  With the medicine in hand, Yang Mi walked quickly to the corner of the corridor, turned, and passed the camera that was filming her.

  The camera has also turned in advance, and moved to Gong Li on the other side of the corridor.

   Waiting until the backs of the six people appeared in the camera, the shooting ended.

   "Okay, over. Camera in orbit."

  The two groups of people did not move, just waiting for the camera to be placed between the two groups of people.

   Directly aimed at Yang Mi in the distance, and after finding the focal length:

   "Get ready, Mimi, see clearly the position on the carpet, and the others cheer up, if Mimi stops, you will stop."

   Liu Guonan shouted.

  Yang Mi, whose expression was still calm, responded:

   "Understood, Director Liu."

soon.

   Shooting continues.

   After the countdown was still three two one, Yang Mi's voice sounded again:

"Walk."

  The six people moved in unison.

  Step by step, when Yang Mi came to the cross tape on the carpet one and a half steps away, she spoke in advance:

   "The maidservant pays homage to the queen."

  The reason why she took a step and a half before speaking was because her steps had already been raised.

   And when he spoke, he just stepped on the distance of that step.

  Following the line of "The servants pay respects to the queen", she completed the last step.

  Because she had already reminded them, the few people behind reacted with the half-step distance, took a step forward, and knelt down together with Yang Mi.

  When Yang Mi knelt down and finished the first half of the line, she knelt down holding the medicine, and then said:

   "Yinshi's medicine is ready."

  Everyone's actions were extremely coordinated and unified because of her words.

  Let's not talk about Liu Guonan, under Xu Xin's slightly surprised eyes, Zhang Yimou also nodded:

"Um…"

   Obviously, he is very satisfied with this neat lens.

  Then, the camera turned to the queen.

  Gong Li's play, needless to say.

  Whether it was the dark anger with reddish eyes or the contemptuous smile at the corner of the mouth when facing the maids who brought the medicine, everything was done just right.

   Soon, the camera backs away.

  Jiang Chan serves medicine.

  The pot of steaming sour plum juice was poured into the bowl.

  After the shot of serving the medicine, the prop quickly took away the hot plum juice and replaced it with a bowl of cool one.

  Continue shooting...

  Gong Li still maintained that trace of contempt on her face, staring at Jiang Chan who was kneeling while holding the medicine for a second, and slowly picked up the cup.

  But who knows just took a sip...

  Suddenly, an unnatural twitch appeared on her expression.

   Zhang Yimou frowned and was about to stop, but Gong Li immediately returned to normal. After she drank the bowl of sour plum soup with her head up, she squeezed the cup, and the twitch on her face turned into calm.

  Calmly shut up, and after swallowing, smashed the cup or slapped it on the tray Yang Mi was holding.

  The girl moved one step to the right, stepped back, and disappeared into the camera, followed by Zhang Jiao's mouthwash.

   also backs up.

   Then there is the golden bowl held by Zhao Liying...

  After a set of steps, Liu Guonan shouted:

   "OK, ready for close-up."

   This is to show the queen Jiang Chan and the close-up of Jiang Chan's micro-expressions when serving medicine.

   But after hearing this, Gong Li retched directly:

   "vomit..."

  While vomiting, she pointed to the soup bowl in Yang Mi's hand:

   "It's broken, it's bitter...vomit~"

  Hearing her words, everyone was taken aback.

  The voice of Liu Guonan who reacted immediately sounded:

   "Props! Props! Come here!"

   "vomit~~~~"

  Gong Li was retching non-stop.

  Zhang Yimou came over:

   "Are you okay?"

  Gong Li waved her hands silently, and after vomiting several times in a row, the makeup artist next to her took a sponge puff to wipe her sweat.

   "Don't rub...it's natural."

  Gong Li rejected the makeup artist again.

   And Zhang Yimou also saw the makeup around her temples that was a little swollen due to sweat.

  It was originally a golden foundation, but at this moment because of the sweat, the makeup looks very embarrassing.

   "...refill it, you vomit first. Take a break~"

   he said.

   And Gong Li could also hear the concern in his words. She was obviously very uncomfortable, and her mouth was full of the bitter taste of stinky sour plum soup mixed with stomach acid, but she still shook her head:

   "This expression is more in line with the onset... vomit..."

  Xu Xin on the side remained silent.

   I was guessing in my heart... I don't know whether these older generation actors are so dedicated, or...

  The other party seemed to be very serious because this was Director Zhang's play.

   But no matter what, seeing her insistence, Zhang Yimou didn't say much, he said:

   "The others are ready to take their place."

   "vomit..."

  Finally, Gong Li vomited out the extremely bitter sour plum soup in her stomach.

  The filth was spat into the trash can, and a sour smell permeated the air.

  But people are comfortable.

   It's just that his face is a little pale.

  But she didn't rest, she stood up directly, and said to the makeup artist looking precarious:

   "Put on lip gloss, let's get started."

  The tone is firm.

   With that sickly face...

  Xu Xin doesn't know what other people think.

  But at this moment in his heart...

   All admiration.
