Reverse Rebirth 1990

Chapter 241 247 [From actor to director]

In the previous life, Zhou Xingchi and Li Lichi met in Weishi. At that time, Zhou Xingchi was an actor that no one paid attention to, and Li Lichi was a new TV director.Both of them like to fantasize about some unconstrained plots, which made them good friends.So much so that after Zhou Xingchi became famous, he didn't forget to support Li Lichi.

During the 13 years of cooperation between the two, many popular movies have been made: "Love Saint", "One-stop Travel", "Domestic Lingling Paint", "The King of Comedy", "The God of Cookery", "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance", "The King of Destruction", etc. .

However, the good friends disagreed during the movie "Shaolin Soccer" and parted ways after filming.

"Shaolin Soccer" can be said to be the work of Zhou Xingchi's life and death. At that time, he had just come out to establish his own film company.

In the past, Zhou Xingchi was a wage earner, and the boss of the employee who could make money must love him; when Zhou Xingchi became a competitor, the old employers jumped out and bad-mouthed him.

It was also a low period for Hong Kong movies. If "Shaolin Soccer" hadn't been filmed well, Zhou Xingchi might have really become a salty fish and couldn't stand up.

Therefore, Zhou Xingchi paid special attention to this movie, and the harshness reached the highest level. He even threw away all the clips that Li Lichi had already filmed, saying "not enough jokes", and reshot them himself, so that the director Li Lichi It was very embarrassing, and the two of them broke up with each other ever since.

But now, due to the appearance of Song Zhichao, the "butterfly", he inadvertently flapped his wings, which made Zhou Xingchi speed up his pace on the way to become a director; Being usurped, becoming begins to crack.

But no matter what, Cai Li, who is the producer at this time, boldly used Zhou Xingchi as the temporary director of the finale of "God of Cookery", which still surprised everyone.And Zhou Xingchi also went from being hesitant at the beginning to becoming eager to move in his heart.

As the saying goes, a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier.

Similarly, an actor who doesn't want to be a director is definitely not a good actor.

Zhou Xingchi is born with a lot of ideas and thoughts. Since the filming of "God of Cookery" started, he has been grinding out a lot of ideas and plots in front of Li Lichi, saying that he is half of the director of this film. wrong.

Now, I have the opportunity to really try to be a director. Although Zhou Xingchi feels a little sorry for Li Lichi, he is also a little excited. After all, he has had such a dream. He is in charge of the director, and the whole audience obeys his command. That feeling How majestic, Dora wind.

Although everyone at the scene doubted Zhou Xingchi's directing ability, but with the support of producer Cai Lan, others had nothing to say.After all, I'm just a part-time worker, and people like Wu Mengda, Luo Jiaying, and Liu Yida don't speak up, so why should I push myself out.

In fact, the reason why Cai Lan suddenly promoted Zhou Xingchi to direct the finale at this time was not because he had a whim, or because he was dissatisfied with Li Li and wanted to take away his power.It's because Cai Lan has discovered that Zhou Xingchi is the real soul of this drama since the beginning of the production of this drama, whether it is on or off the screen.

By chance, Cai Lan saw Zhou Xingchi and Li Lichi discussing a scene in "The God of Cookery".And argue with reason, say how to shoot, it will be better.

Cai Lan listened and felt that what Zhou Xingchi said made sense.

It's okay to do this once, but during the filming period, Cai Li encountered this situation eight times if not ten times, and every time Zhou Xingchi's suggestions and ideas made Cai Li, the producer, feel amazing.

It would be fine if Li Lichi could humbly accept Zhou Xingchi's ideas, but in order to maintain her authority as a director, Cai Lan discovered that Li Lichi deliberately passed Zhou Xingchi's "ideas" several times.

The authorities are obsessed with the onlookers, and Cai Lan can see clearly that Li Lichi's mind is a little narrow.

Now, the finale of "God of Cookery" is very important, and Zhou Xingchi mentioned one or two very fresh ideas, for example, "Ecstasy" fried rice was designed by Zhou Xingchi.At first Li Lichi despised this idea and rejected it, but after a trial shoot, Li Lichi immediately turned around and began to "respect" Zhou Xingchi's idea, and even directly regarded it as his own "idea" , and even showed off in front of Cai Lan, saying that it was only after she spent days and nights of hard thinking and meditation, which made Cai Lan, who knew the truth of the matter, a little unhappy.To be a human being, you must know how to measure.

Of course, none of the above is actually the main reason why Cai Li promoted Zhou Xingchi to be the director of the finale.

The main reason is that Song Zhichao played tricks behind him.

As the boss of the "Phantom World" film company, the investor of "The God of Cookery".Song Zhichao had interviewed Cai Lan several times under the pretext of "drinking tea". At the beginning, the conversation was nothing more than Cai Lan's favorite food theme, then it involved the drama "The God of Cookery", and then Zhou Xingchi was mentioned.

What surprised Cai Lan was that Song Zhichao seemed to know Zhou Xingchi very well. This kind of understanding was not about knowing Zhou Xingchi after reading gossip news or frivolous news, but an understanding of Zhou Xingchi from the bottom of his heart.

To be precise, Song Zhichao put Zhou Xingchi in front of Cai Lan, telling Cai Lan that this star boy is not only a super talented comedian, but also a super excellent director.

Cai Lan was surprised, she didn't understand why Song Zhichao said that and why he valued Zhou Xingchi so much.

And Song Zhichao explained to him that you will know it by observing carefully.That's why Cai Lan paid attention to Zhou Xingchi, gained a new understanding of Zhou Xingchi, and boldly used Zhou Xingchi as the director of the finale.

……

The filming of "The God of Cookery" has finally started.

At this time, Zhou Xingchi, who was in charge of directing for the first time, let go of the little nervousness at the beginning, let alone the nonsensical ghostly appearance in the play, but had a serious expression, like a general in command of an army.He set up the camera and shouted: "The last scene of "God of Cookery", everyone is ready--Aikesh!"

The recorder who was in charge of making the board snapped the board down with a snap!

The lens starts to focus, the camera starts to move——
Without the obstruction of others, without the grievances of communication, Zhou Xingchi at this moment can realize and shoot his inner thoughts as he likes.

Seeing that Zhou Xingchi's director became more and more proficient and smooth, he was able to use the limited space and resources he already had to film the scene of the "God of Cookery" so majestic and exciting. Li Lichi was surprised, and even more so. Some indescribable taste...Is that admiration, or...jealousy?
"CUT!" Just as Li Lichi was thinking, he suddenly heard a loud shout, and Zhou Xingchi raised his horn and shouted loudly: "I announce that "God of Cookery" --- finished!"

After a brief pause, there was a bang, and the entire crew burst into cheers.

Hard work day and night, anticipation day and night!
Hard work and exhaustion!
Sweat and blood!

"God of Cookery", created by everyone side by side, is finally completed at this moment!

How does this feel?
Like the completion of the graduation exam, like the success of the first interview, the joy, excitement, indescribable!
