I'm just an actor

Chapter 335 Insights
"Teacher Sun?"

"Which Teacher Sun?"

Wang Yaqin looked at the silent Xu Rong, and said, "Who else could it be? It's Teacher Sun Honglei."

Xu Rong already knew about Du Qifeng's state on the set. Under normal circumstances, he was serious and even harsh. Even if he couldn't find faults in the scenes, he often kept one for peace of mind.

If he is overwhelmed by troubles and has emotions, according to the degree of emotional loss, his physical movements are often like a duo on stage. The speed varies from 1.5 times to 3 times. As for the pronunciation, even if it is translated into Mandarin, if you put it in Portal website broadcast, the audience can only hear "you beep beep beep beep me beep beep beep beep he beep beep beep beep."

Hearing the noise from upstairs just now, Xu Rong didn't pay attention at all, but when he realized that it was Sun Honglei who was arguing with Du Qifeng, he paid a little attention to it, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. The differences between actors and directors about creation usually don't last. too long.

Either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind.

It's just that Sun Honglei, a man from the Northeast, can't imagine being scolded and crying.

He looked at Wang Yaqin with scrutiny, and said, "Yaqin, are you sure that Du Qifeng scolded Sun Honglei?"

"Yes, I'm still wiping my tears like this." Wang Yaqin said, raising her arms exaggeratedly and wiping two eye sockets.

After hearing this, Li Gen said with an incongruous expression on his face, "I'll be good, can't I?"

Because once what Wang Yaqin said is true, although Sun Honglei's career will not be greatly affected, his reputation in the industry may be greatly reduced. In contrast, it is understandable that he can't beat Shenyang in a dry fight. After all, martial arts in the world are only fast. You can always explain something, and if you are scolded and cried, you will inevitably be used as a conversation piece after dinner by your colleagues in private.

Xu Rong sat and thought for a while, then got up, and said, "Go up and take a look and you'll know."

As usual, Zhao Zhijiang should be the peacemaker for similar conflicts.

However, not long ago, the peacemaker was dismissed by him.

Li Gen followed Xu Rong, and said cheerfully as he walked: "Hey, brother, I suddenly discovered a truth today. In the director's business, the more tempered you are, the more famous you will be. Do you think I have to do it too?" Learn, otherwise, if I don’t know how to curse people on the set, I definitely won’t be able to become an internationally renowned director, right?!”

Xu Rong ignored Li Gen. He was obedient and knew that this guy was messing with him, because both of them understood that in the director's profession, fame is only a necessary condition for temper, otherwise, there is no way to vent your emotions when facing big names. Power, like most ordinary actors, can only bear the anger of the director silently.

It's just because the vast majority of audiences know only so many directors, so the profession of director is an extremely "violent" profession, but it is not the case in essence. There are dozens of good and bad people, and it’s not uncommon for someone who doesn’t want to be beaten with a sack on his head, but when a line of script can’t be filmed for half a day or even a day, seeing hundreds of thousands and millions of money is like water. Everyone has to be in a hurry to let it flow out.

The director is not an investor, but he is responsible for the crew's budget.

After Xu Rong went upstairs, he realized that the whole floor was quiet, and the "creaking" sound made by the people sitting on the corridor chairs occasionally changing their postures was also extremely ear-piercing.

Seeing him coming, Gao Yunxiang stretched out his index finger and pointed in the direction of the stairwell. He opened and closed his mouth a few times, as if to say, "He's there."

Xu Rong nodded lightly, waved at Li Gen and Wang Yaqin who were about to follow, and walked towards the stairwell alone.

When he opened the door, he saw Sun Honglei squatting on the steps with his head lowered and smoking a cigarette, and the chubby female assistant next to him. Xu Rong walked over and asked with concern: "Brother Hong Lei, what's going on?"

Sun Honglei didn't look up, just shook his head slightly, and said, "It's okay."

Xu Rong smiled and said: "If you have nothing to do, just let it go and smoke a stuffy cigarette? If you are really upset, you can find a few people to beat you with a sack and put your head on it, and you're done?"

Sun Honglei held a cigarette, slowly raised his head, and stared at him blankly: "Are you kidding me?"

The "suggestions" provided by Xu Rong happened occasionally before 08, especially in some low-profile crews, but they are not very popular now, and they are still such a high-profile crew in "Drug Wars". If the evidence is caught, there is no need for relevant departments to take action, and the industry will spontaneously resist, forming an effect similar to a ban.

Xu Rong smiled and said, "Are you serious?"

Seeing that Sun Honglei was holding a cigarette with his eyes narrowed, he didn't know whether it was from the smoke or he was thinking about the feasibility of the proposal.

Sun Honglei's female assistant said sadly: "Mr. Xu, in fact, Brother Hong Lei is not to blame for this matter at all. Director Du speaks too fast, and Brother Hong Lei can't understand. Sometimes he said to several people, we couldn't understand at all." Who is he talking to, I can only guess and act, but after going back and forth a few times, the two of them became more and more angry, and they quarreled."

After hearing this, Xu Rong asked, "Then why don't you ask him to speak more slowly and clearly?"

The female assistant managed to force a smile, but she didn't answer. That's Du Qifeng, the great Hong Kong director, and the entire crew, that is, you, Xu Rongneng, asked for such a request. Who would dare to mention it?

Seeing the other party's expression, Xu Rong probably guessed, and said, "I understand the situation."

At this time, he understood the crux of the problem. The quarrel between Du Qifeng and Sun Honglei was actually not a communication barrier at all. In the final analysis, it was caused by personality factors.

True literary and artistic creators have similar common problems, and their hearts are relatively sensitive, but this is also the reason why they are easy to succeed, because they can always find details in life that are difficult for ordinary people to pay attention to.

Tears are splashed when feeling, and I hate goodbye and startle.

It sounds hypocritical, but it is a true portrayal of the vast majority of real art creators.

Du Qifeng is like this, and Sun Honglei is also like this,
Coincidentally, the two of them are not people who are willing to build up good words on the set. Du Qifeng is a well-known tyrant on the set, and Sun Honglei, if not for his big brother Jiang Wen, who likes to guide directors in filming and newcomers to act. I am afraid that faults have already become the number one figure in the audience's mind.

The words of Sun Honglei's female assistant just now reminded him that the two people put each other in an unequal position based on their sensitive mentality.

In Xu Rong's perception, Du Qifeng is just an ordinary director who came out of the 700 million audience market and came to the mainland to make money. Maybe he has achieved small-scale success in the past, but there are too many directors who are not satisfied with the environment.

He positioned Du Qifeng as an experienced director. As for whether he is successful or not, it is still unclear.

But in Sun Honglei's heart, he didn't hold this kind of view, just like what his assistant didn't express. The other party was a well-known director. Instead guess.

Coupled with the differences in the division of responsibilities and levels of support between the two in the crew, this led to conflicts between the two in their communication.

If Sun Honglei kept chasing Du Qifeng and asking him what he meant, it would indeed arouse Du Qifeng's dissatisfaction, but at least it would not cause a series of follow-up questions.

And once a dispute occurs, it is reasonable for Sun Honglei to be scolded and cry.

Andy Lau, who was also scolded and cried by Du Qifeng on the set, commented on Du Qifeng's cursing style: He knows how to hurt people's self-esteem.

"Let's go back after smoking this one. It will delay the progress and make it even more troublesome." After Xu Rong said something, he opened the door and entered the corridor of the hospital.

Along the corridor to the door of a vacated ward, seeing Du Qifeng sitting on a chair with a cold face, silent, Xu Rong knocked on the door twice, walked over, looked at him cheerfully, and said, "What's wrong?" Director Du, who are you angry with?"

"Why am I angry, I'm not angry!"

Xu Rong looked at Du Qifeng and turned his head away like a child, and said with a smile: "No, why are you not angry? Yan, you're as unfair as a mother-in-law, why don't you stop working? Mr. Zhao planned to leave, but we can't just start with the back, right?"

You Naihai looked at Xu Rong. He had never dealt with Xu Rong before, so he knew very little about him. In the past, he never took the initiative to inquire about this person, but when he knew that he was going to play the role of Cai Tianming, he asked Du Qifeng about it. And Wei Jiahui, but they don't know what's going on, they don't seem to want to talk more about Xu Rong.

But upon hearing his words, You Naihai was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Du Qifeng quietly, because he reckoned that Xu Rong would have to be exposed to scolding of "beep beep beep beep" in the future.

Du Qifeng crossed his arms, turned his head slowly, and looked at Xu Rong for a few seconds, showing an expression that seemed to be about to laugh, but seemed to be forcibly held back again, he straightened his neck, and stared: "Who says you can't shoot?" Yes, shoot, Luo Jinfu, where is he?"

You Naihai stared blankly at Du Qifeng, Du Qifeng's reaction made him feel strange, but at the same time it seemed familiar, he slowly remembered that he had known similar situations for so many years, and he had seen similar situations with his own eyes several times.

He slowly shifted his gaze to Xu Rong, relying on his familiarity with Du Qifeng, and from his reaction, he keenly judged that Du Qifeng was a little afraid of the young man in front of him.

He called Sun Honglei over and started filming again. Du Qifeng didn't talk about the play, but looked at the assistant director Zheng Baorui and said, "Tell him about the play in detail."

Seeing Zheng Baorui passing by, Xu Rong turned his head, looked at Chen Weibin, a screenwriter who could speak both Mandarin and Cantonese, and said, "Mr.

Chen Weibin, who saw the fight between his skin and the woman, hurriedly stood up from his chair and said, "Mr. Xu, you are too polite. Tell me if you have anything to say."

Xu Rong pointed in the direction of Zheng Baorui and Sun Honglei, and said, "Can I trouble you to translate for Director Zheng Baorui and Brother Hong Lei? I just heard Brother Hong Lei say that he didn't understand what Director Du asked him to act in. , That's why I contradicted Director Du."

While speaking, Xu Rong glanced at Du Qifeng who was sitting peacefully like a mountain.

At this moment, he regretted the idea of ​​dismissing Zhao Zhijiang. Reconciling conflicts is really not a human job, because even if conflicts arise from misunderstandings, once they erupt, they have already reached the stage where reconciliation is impossible, because the cause has already been resolved. It is no longer important, and all he can do is maintain the harmony on the surface.

Chen Weibin listened to Xu Rong's "you" and hurriedly said: "Mr. Xu, you are too polite, it's all trivial matters, it's all trivial matters."

"Thank you, I'll treat you to a drink later."

Hearing Xu Rong's words, Chen Weibin hadn't said anything yet. Gao Yunxiang rolled his eyes first, and said to Li Weijie next to him: "I found that brother Xu's phrase 'I'll buy you a drink later' is unreliable. What the hell is it? when?"

Li Haojie smiled silently, looked at Xu Rong who patted Chen Weibin on the shoulder, and then sat side by side with Du Qifeng, Zheng Zhaoqiang, and You Naihai behind the monitor, he suddenly remembered a certain evening.

That day, a 17-year-old young man sat opposite him. At that time, the young man was so surprised by the huge sum of 50 yuan that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time, and his ears were red because he was talking about women.

He felt that everything happened not long ago, like it happened the day before yesterday or the evening of the day before yesterday.

In the past few years, he hasn't had much contact with Xu Rong, because he really doesn't know how to face Xu Rong, he is afraid that he will look down on him, just like the evaluation in the industry, he relies on women and eats soft food.

He does not deny this point, without Teacher Qin's help, he might still be wandering around in various crews, playing small roles with few roles, just like a few years ago.

But he has made so many sacrifices and endured so much infamy, yet he can only helplessly and desperately watch Xu Rong, who is a few years younger than himself, go higher and farther, all this makes him hard to understand, even ,envy.

Just like now, he is just a dispensable role in the play, but the other party is a superstar who makes Du Qifeng unable to clearly indicate who is the first male and who is the second male.

After Sun Honglei heard some things he didn't understand in the past, he no longer avoided contact with Xu Rong. It is not a shameful thing to admit that others are better than himself.

Looking at Xu Rong, who was sitting side by side with Du Qifeng, director and supervisor, chatting and laughing, the last bit of puzzlement in his heart disappeared.

Seven years have passed, we have moved from place to place, and after accepting the gap between the two, and re-examining each other from the perspective of a stranger, he suddenly realizes that the little fellow who didn't understand anything back then has stood by him. Need to look up to the point.

"Hey, Director Du, have you ever studied Mandarin?"

"No."

"I'll teach you, come on, let me teach you a simple one first, each country has its own national anthem."

"what?"

Xu Rong said word by word: "Each country has its own national anthem."

Du Qifeng opened his mouth, and after a long time, he smiled wryly and waved his hands, saying: "Forget it, forget it, you should spare me."

Xu Rong laughed twice, but didn't insist anymore, and quietly waited for the filming to officially start.

He has already stated that it was Sun Honglei's fault that Sun Honglei had a dispute with him, but Du Qifeng, you can't speak clearly, and you can't say that there is no problem.

It's just that what Xu Rong didn't expect was that at this moment, a person he didn't expect was instilling a completely different view into Sun Honglei.
