I'm just an actor

Chapter 391 Remaining Sound (Change first and then change)
Looking at Xu Rong's direction of photography, Du Qifeng's smile lines on both sides of his nose gradually faded away.

After arranging Xu Rong's hospitalization during the Christmas period a while ago, he returned to Hong Kong.

In fact, in his opinion, there is no need to celebrate the Spring Festival or Christmas, but he still has to go back, because many relatives and friends will visit at this time every year.

Contrary to his expectations, everyone seems to be extremely busy this year, and the few who visit the house seem like thieves, coming and going in a hurry.

Most of the rest just sent a brief message, agreeing to have a drink and talk when they are not busy later.

It was as if he had shot [-] bad movies in a row that both lost money and got scolded.

But actually no, even the filming of "Drug Wars" puts more energy into it than any film he has made in the past.

Recently, the only thing he has done that is slightly different from usual is the last time he made a statement when he was asked by the media why he replaced Huang Yi.

He understands the reason why his colleagues in Hong Kong alienate him. Earlier, a few close friends called him to remind him: Don't forget your roots!

At the time, he didn't care.

He has always positioned himself very clearly as a filmmaker. As for other things, he doesn't want to get involved or ask questions.

As far as he knows, there are not a few colleagues who have the same idea as him, but as a literary and artistic creator with great influence, he is always watched by the outside world, and his words and deeds will be infinitely magnified, and then judge where he stands. side.

Ask yourself, he actually doesn't want to stand anywhere.

A few decades ago, in the decades after the fall of the mainland, there were many patriots in Hong Kong, but those people are now old and dead.

And middle-aged people like myself, born under the rice flag, bathed in the brilliance of freedom and democracy, but in the process of growing up, they were inevitably influenced by the previous generation. There is always a constant connection with the mainland. .

The younger generation does not have this complicated mentality. What they have learned from textbooks since childhood is how horrible China is and how poor the Mainland is. Most of their parents have never been to the Mainland, so it is even more difficult to tell them about the Mainland. In comparison, the contents of textbooks are more authoritative and credible.

In addition to unswervingly embracing freedom and democracy, they have also learned the wisdom and intelligence of Westerners. At the time of poverty and poverty, they hold high the banner of patriotism. Hand over the banknotes to them, and when they earn enough money, they will behave in an upright manner.

Are mainlanders really stupid?
Looking at Xu Rong who was discussing with photography in the distance, Du Qifeng didn’t think so. Xu Rong accidentally said a word some time ago: The more you lack something, the more you emphasize it, so what you say is not important, what is important is what you do, especially the key What to do all the time.

Xu Rong, who was born in the mid-80s, did not grow up watching Hong Kong movies, and did not admire Hong Kong film and television culture. This was beyond his expectations and made him feel helpless.

If Xu Rong is like this, it means that the younger 90s and 00s in the Mainland will no longer be able to accept the values ​​that Hong Kong movies promote that are completely different from those in the Mainland.

Those feelings and touches will never shake the slightest emotion they have.

"Ugh."

Du Qifeng sighed silently. From the comparison between Xu Rong and the younger generation in Hong Kong, he can already glimpse the future development trend of the film and television industry.

He has never heard slogans such as "patriotism" from Xu Rong, but this young man's thinking and behavior are completely different from contemporary young people. He firmly believes that he can live a good life now because the party leads the people Created, and firmly believes that the party can lead the people to eliminate exploitation, eliminate polarization, and ultimately achieve common prosperity.

When Du Qifeng heard this statement for the first time, he felt it was ridiculous.

Eliminate polarization?

To achieve common prosperity?

Are you kidding me?
Until Xu Rong carefully analyzed the irreconcilable contradictions of the system of private ownership of means of production for him.

"Ugh."

Wen Yongshan, who caught a glimpse not far away, took the initiative to talk to Xu Rong. After being dazed for a moment, he sighed silently. Leaving aside whether the system is superior or not, the reality at the moment is that people who grew up under the glory of the empire Although a group of people are still struggling and brainwashing the new generation tirelessly, under the increasing influence of the mainland, it may be too late.

Xu Rong first communicated with the photographer for a while, then lowered his head, measured the distance step by step, imagined the positions of other people and his own reaction, and eliminated every redundant movement as much as possible. Make one's own actions create an illusion of swiftness.

"Brother Xu?"

Xu Rong walked back and forth three times, when he suddenly heard someone calling him, he turned his head and looked around, and found that Wen Yongshan and Wang Shiya, who played another female guard of the people, were lying on the ground. Lying is not.

He stared blankly at the two of them for two seconds before suddenly realizing that in this scene, Yang Xiaobei played by Zhong Yongshan and Yang Ziting played by Wang Shiya were knocked down by his car in order to guide the students away.

He hurriedly waved to Luo Jinfu who was not far away, and said, "Get some warm stickers for the two of them."

Looking at the warm babies that Xu Rong handed over, Wen Yongshan couldn't help feeling warm in her heart: "Thank you Brother Xu."

At this time, she even felt that all the previous efforts were not in vain. If there were not so many preparations, how could Xu Rong take the initiative to care?
Xu Rong showed her brilliant white teeth and said, "You don't need to thank me. According to our normal progress, if there is no accident, you should lie on the ground for at least three days. At least you must ensure your health until the filming is over."

Wen Yongshan heard the words, pinching the warm sticky hand in the air, she couldn't help feeling a sense of powerlessness in her heart, she felt that Xu Rong had a good impression of her for a moment just now, was she crazy or was he crazy?

On the other hand, Wang Shiya next to her couldn't help but turn her head aside when she heard Zhao Junkai mention Xu Rong's temper.

"Get ready and continue shooting."

"it is good."

The crew once again fell into the "grinding" scene. Unlike Group B, which was filmed all over the country and progressed extremely fast, Group A's progress was slow, but as the lunar new year passed, the role of "Drug War" in Tianjin , I'm about to finish filming.

Xu Rong got up early in the morning and opened the curtains, only to see the heavy snow outside the window, and stayed directly in front of the window.

There is still one scene left in Tianjin. If there is no snow, the crew will probably be able to move to Zhuhai tonight to film the remaining scenes.

After a while, after the doorbell rang twice, Wang Yaqin opened the door and walked in. Seeing Xu Rong standing in front of the window in her pajamas, she said, "Mr. play."

"What drama?"

"quarrel."

"quarrel?"

Xu Rong nodded and said, "I'll go find Du Qifeng."

When everyone in the production team received the notice of "shooting as usual", they were almost completely stunned. There was such a heavy snow outside, did they expect to wipe off all the snow in the later stage?

Everyone had doubts in their hearts, except Du Qifeng and Xu Rong.

The scene to be filmed is the scene before Cai Tianming is finally arrested. As the only survivor after the firefight, Cai Tianming is about to drive away, but unexpectedly, Zhang Lei handcuffs his ankles when he is dying.

When he arrived at the set, Zhong Hanliang, who had just finished putting on makeup, looked at the wet snow on the ground, his expression was a little unsightly, and he said, "Director, can't we shoot this?"

According to the script, he was to lie on the ground.

When Du Qifeng heard it, he stood up with a "huh", his eyes stared like copper bells, but he didn't hold back a fart for a long time.

It is impossible for him to turn black and white in front of so many people.

Not far away, Xu Rong took a look, his face tensed, and he pointed at Du Qifeng and shouted, "Are you the director or is he the director?"

Zhong Hanliang turned his head to look at Du Qifeng, who was furious, and then at Xu Rong, who was filled with righteous indignation, completely dumbfounded.

what happened?

Xu Rong spoke for Du Qifeng, this is so evil!

Xu Rong stared at Zhong Hanliang with burning eyes. As long as Zhong Hanliang refuted, he could continue to make things difficult, and Du Qifeng should not miss this opportunity again.

Du Qifeng, who was awakened by Xu Rong, also rolled the script into a tube, smashed it on the table with a "slap", and shouted: "Am I the director or are you the director? Come on, come on, you have the ability to shoot? Come on." what!"

Zhong Hanliang didn't dare to say anything, because neither Xu Rong nor Du Qifeng could offend him.

Sun Honglei looked at the battle, vaguely guessed something, pulled a piece of raincloth in a very bare manner, spread it on the ground, and lay down neatly on the ground, looked at Du Qifeng and Xu Rong provocatively, and said: "I have no problem." .”

It's not the first day for everyone to film. It's snowing today. It's obvious that no matter how you shoot, you can't use it. But Du Qifeng not only insists on shooting, but also prepares to go crazy at any time. Xu Rong is similar. It is judged that there is a high probability that the two of them will perform a play for the media today.

Xu Rong and Du Qifeng looked at Sun Honglei's appearance, and looked at each other, both a little embarrassed, this reason was too blunt.

But they can't be blamed. According to Jin Fangfang's news, the media friends will arrive in a while.

Everyone in the crew gradually came to the senses that today, the head and the second head of the crew seem to simply want to quarrel.

But the more this is the case, the less they will give a chance.

Just scold, as long as you don't retaliate, can you keep scolding?

There were many snowflakes in the sky, but as the filming progressed, everyone gradually realized that the crew was like a powder keg, and what was missing was only a little spark.

As expected, the conflict between Xu Rong and Du Qifeng broke out after a few more reporters around the set.

While Du Qifeng was talking to Xu Rong, Xu Rong lost his temper very abruptly to everyone's surprise: "Can you make a movie? Have you never eaten pork or seen a pig running? "

"People have been shot so many times, you tell me he can still handcuff me?"

"As far as your level is concerned, you will be a third-rate director at best in this life, and you still stare. Why, are you not convinced?"

"Let me tell you, as far as your level is concerned, even if I tie a dog behind a monitor, I can take better pictures than you!"

Sun Honglei, Li Weijie, Zhong Hanliang, Guo Tao, and Li Qing standing around the two were completely stunned. What is Xu Rong today? Director Jiang is possessed?
Du Qifeng was also stunned by Xu Rong's scolding and merciless scolding.

But immediately, he grabbed the cheapest rice pineapple in the vicinity, and with great force, shouted: "Get out, get out as far as you can!"

"."

With the filming of the last scene in Tianjin, Group A moved to Zhuhai.

While the crew was rushing to Zhuhai, outside discussions about "Drug Wars" reached a new height.

Half a month after Xu Rong was injured, many media reported at the same time that during the filming of "Drug Wars", the leading actors Xu Rong and Du Qifeng had an argument and exchanged foul language.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Yanming, the boss of Hairun Films, flew to Tianjin to quell the conflict.

Although the crew of "Drug Wars" immediately refuted the rumors: there was no quarrel, only creative differences.

But no one believed it, because before this big melon broke out, the media had already reported that Du Qifeng scolded Sun Honglei and cried.

After half a month, "Drug War" once again entered the public's field of vision.

No one would have imagined that the two who were flattering each other two months ago had unknowingly reached the point of tearing their skins apart.

While the outside world was discussing the internal strife in "Drug War", Sun Honglei looked at a large box of ice cubes and shivered subconsciously.

What is going to be filmed is a scene where he competes with Li Shuchang for taking medicine in order to win Li Shuchang's trust, and then takes a bath in ice water.

"You have to completely soak yourself in later."

"Don't show your head?"

"Don't show your head."

Seeing Sun Honglei's expression of embarrassment, Xu Rong patted the box containing the ice cubes, and said, "This is a fake, and it costs five yuan each. It wasn't torn off."

Sun Honglei exhaled, looked at him gratefully, and said, "Thank you."

Xu Rong waved his hand and said, "You're welcome."

Curious, Du Qifeng walked up to the box containing the ice cubes and was about to reach out to touch them, but was stopped by Xu Rong.

"What are you doing?"

"Is it really transported by the devil?"

Du Qifeng was actually quite puzzled, because he remembered that he had prepared real ice cubes, but looking at the delivery slip above, it didn't look like fake ones.

"Really, five yuan a piece, you can continue to use it in the future."

"This is indeed a good thing." Du Qifeng no doubted him, nodded and walked back to the director's room.

"preparation."

"action."

The moment Sun Honglei lay down in the bathtub, feeling the biting ice water, he shivered involuntarily. Although he had already greeted Xu Rong and Du Qifeng's eighth-generation ancestors in his heart, he also knew that this was not the time to worry about this, so he held his breath I suffocated myself from head to toe into the biting ice water.

"cut."

Xu Rong took the lead in applauding, and at the same time did not forget to give a thumbs up, saying: "Brother Hong Lei played really well."

Du Qifeng came out from behind the monitor, put his hand into the bathtub curiously, but retracted it quickly, clapped his hands, and said, "Honglei, I can guarantee you that it's just because of this The play, you will definitely be remembered by the audience, the acting is really great."

Although most people didn't understand what was going on, they also clapped their hands. Gan Tingting, who had just joined the group, looked at this scene with a slight arc of his mouth. Just now, Xu Rong and Li Haojie were posting couriers in the corner. When alone, she noticed.

Turning her gaze, she found that Xu Rong was staring at her. She hurriedly put away her smile and clapped her hands. Although she made her debut in the mainland film and television industry through the role of Pan Jinlian in "Water Margin", she is not as good as a big name like Xu Rong. The gap is still far away.

"Yeah, brother Honglei played really well, really well."

Listening to the applause, praise, towels and anxious concerns around him, Sun Honglei couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "Before you do this, can you tell me first?"
