That's how I became famous

Chapter 666 Make the exam easier
When the film was finished, the audience cheered.

After more than two months of shooting, this film journey is finally over.

Li Xiao directed a feature-length film for the first time, and it ended perfectly.

Not only the actors and crew members were happy, Li Xiao also laughed so hard.

For him, more than two months of uninterrupted shooting was really exhausting.

Even if he already has a complete movie plot and a complete camera picture in his mind, he knows what expression is needed in each place, and it is also very tiring.

Li Xiao knew a long time ago that if he wanted to be a good director, he didn't just have to sit on the monitor and play tricks.

However, he didn't expect to be so tired.

Physically and mentally, the shooting time is at least ten hours a day, and the spirit is always tense. We must always pay attention to every detail to avoid mistakes.

Fortunately, Li Xiao didn't have the kind of self-confidence that he felt that he could handle everything and didn't need helpers.If it weren't for several assistant directors helping to manage various departments, he would definitely lose a lot of hair.

At this moment, Li Xiao looked a little haggard, with a thin layer of blue beard stubble growing on his chin and upper lip, his eye sockets were sunken a little, and he had black actors that were not serious but visible to the naked eye. The hair has grown a lot, messy, but not ugly at all, like a melancholy prince
puff~
Amidst the noise, Li Xiao heard the sound of champagne being opened, and Li Xiao suddenly had a bad feeling. He turned his head following the sound, and saw Han Yuan and Feng Mei hiding behind. At this moment, Han Yuan raised his hand The champagne was gushing.

Li Xiao shielded his eyes, how could he be willing to be slaughtered by others, he looked around, saw the place where the champagne was placed, immediately ran over with big strides, and sprayed each other.

Soon, Lu Feizhang and others joined in.

The others looked very happy, but they didn't dare to join in. After all, the most famous actors in the crew were Han Yuan and Feng Mei. Who would dare to drink champagne to Li Xiao.

If Teacher Jin was around, she might playfully take the lead, but her role had already been wrapped up a month ago.

The first feature-length movie, the first movie that will be released in theaters soon, Li Xiao was also very happy in his heart, he didn't care too much, and sprayed the champagne in his hand towards the surroundings, attacking indiscriminately.

Chen Yong's role was completed half a month ago, but as Li Xiao's bodyguard and driver, there are many reasons for him to come to the film crew. Standing aside and watching this scene with a naive smile, who knows the direction of Li Xiao's attack at the next moment Aiming at him, he was suddenly sprayed all over, hesitated for a moment, then picked up a bottle of champagne and opened it.

There are also bold people behind, seeing so much champagne prepared, they also follow suit.

Those who didn't have champagne actually brought tap water in a container that could hold water.
As a result, the scene was chaotic.

As the director, the biggest name in the crew, Li Xiao, who is like an ordinary young man after having fun, is naturally the one who was greeted by everyone. When it was over, his whole body was soaked, and the autumn wind blew, making him tremble unconsciously up.

It's the end of October now, pedestrians on the road put on long-sleeved thin coats, and the autumn wind blows, which can easily make people feel a chill.

"Brothers in charge of props work hard, stay here to pack up things, others can go back to take a shower and change clothes, ready for tonight's wrap-up banquet!" Li Xiao shouted with a loudspeaker.

Knowing that the location of the wrap-up banquet will be held in a five-star hotel, cheers erupted again.

After the bustle, it was time to leave. The actors and crew members left in an orderly manner. Li Xiao returned to the RV to take a shower and change clothes, but he did not leave in a hurry.

At this time, Han Yuan and Feng Mei also left first, and Lu Feizhang and others also went back first. Only Chen Yong was left, and a dozen or so employees who dismantled props and cleaned up the venue.

The assistant director Yang Yushu hadn't left yet, but when he saw Li Xiao coming out and looking around, he walked over and said with a smile, "Director Li, don't you feel a lot of emotion?"

Li Xiao looked back and smiled: "Yes."

In fact, before he started making this movie, Li Xiao felt that he had no problems at all. He had so many experiences in his dreams, and short films are also movies. stumped?
In fact, it didn't bother him, but there were a lot of problems and thoughts in it.

The finished film hasn't come out yet, but Li Xiao knows it well, except that the pace has been sped up in the early stage and some plots have been changed, everything else is roughly the same as the original film in the dream.

Even so, there will be new problems every day. For example, the state of the actors is not right, the lighting has been adjusted many times and the desired effect cannot be obtained, and other problems. Director Li Xiao needs to think about how to solve them, and he cannot rely on others, because , the effect he wants, only he knows.

A lot of emotion, these are good experiences.

If you don't have these experiences, how can you realize your own shortcomings?

Li Xiao's mentality is very good, since the moment he announced the finale until now, his smile has not diminished.

"Be careful, I'll come." A staff member in front tilted his foot, and Li Xiao hurried over.

Watching Director Li help carry the props, Yang Yushu also felt a lot of emotion. This director is very different.It is also the first time for him to cooperate with such a young director. At first, he thought it was different. He just thought that young people may have a generation gap and have different ideas. However, after getting along for more than two months, he also got to know the most real Li dawn.

Director Li Xiao's identity was actually often overlooked by Yang Yushu at the beginning. After all, he was a star, a top-notch star, but when he got along with him, he couldn't feel the way he thought of him at all.

Playing big names?
No, even if it is a small role with no face, Li Xiao will still talk to it, and even give lectures to the actors when he has time.

Can't bear it?

This seems to be there, and it seems not to be. Li Xiao will complain about being too sleepy and tired from time to time, but I have never seen him stop shooting because of being too sleepy and tired, let alone run back to rest by himself, throwing all the work to him. other people.

When I was filming, although I almost never arrived early, I never made others wait. I was never late for the time I set.

What Yang Yushu remembers most is Li Xiao's major.

His professionalism reveals a taste of unfamiliarity everywhere, and he can always hit the point.In terms of professionalism, he is more professional than most of the directors Yang Yushu has worked with, but in some places, he seems rather ignorant.

This kind of profession, Yang Yushu understands as a genius profession, it is precisely because Li Xiao is a genius, so professionalism can make people's jaw drop.It is precisely because Li Xiao is a genius that he understands too much too quickly, and some subtleties are still not in place.

If a reporter later interviewed him and asked him what he thought of Director Li, Yang Yushu would have thought about it, and would say two words in an inscrutable way—genius.

After returning home, Li Xiao called Fang Bianmian and asked her if she wanted to go with her before leaving for the finale banquet. Fang Bianmian said that she had an appointment with Zhou Xiaoran tonight, and promised that Lili would take her there tonight. eat delicious food.

Thinking that his girlfriend was not an insider, and there was no need to attend such an occasion with him, Li Xiao called Chen Yong to pick him up, and the two went together.

It was not the first time Li Xiao participated in the finale banquet, but this time, it was completely his own.

Arriving at eight o'clock in the evening, Li Xiao walked into the banquet hall, greeted him all the way in, and finally sat down.

Several assistant directors and main actors sat at the same table with Li Xiao, and Lu Feizhang and others sat at the next table.

Teacher Jin also came, Li Xiao smiled and said, "Mr. Jin, long time no see!"

"It's been a month."

Teacher Jin also responded with a smile, with a playful smile: "However, when you say such things in front of me, I always feel as if you are provoking me!"

Everyone in the crew knows that Dr. Bai in the play is Teacher Jin, the teacher of one of Li Xiao's professional courses. The students who are still in school say it's been a long time to the teacher, which seems to be really provocative.
Hearing people laughing one after another, Yang Yushu returned Qi Hongguang and said, "That's right, Mr. Jin, he is just provoking you!"

After getting along, I also know that Li Xiao is a person who can make jokes, and everyone will not be too tense about this kind of small teasing.

Li Xiao smiled and made no reply. After sitting down, Teacher Jin told him in a low voice: "Mr. Zhong and Dean Wan don't like to come to this kind of occasion. They said, if you have time, just go and visit the old man."

This is an opportunity for him to further improve the relationship. Li Xiao said: "Okay, I will visit in two days."

Speaking of which, when the filming started, Li Xiao didn't have time to pay a visit at home. It's really time to go. It can't be true that you don't understand the etiquette at all. People are optimistic about you, and you can't accept this kindness with peace of mind.

As for the title of film producer, these two don't need this to add credit to themselves. Helping Li Xiao is purely appreciation and support for the younger generation.

You said something to me, Li Xiao stood up and said a few words about everyone eating and drinking, the atmosphere quickly heated up, everyone should eat and drink.

Teacher Jin didn't stay for too long, after chatting for a while, he said goodbye and left.

During the halftime of the banquet, everyone began to walk around and connect with each other. As the main table, Li Xiao's side was naturally the place where the most people came.

Everyone knows that Li Xiao doesn't like to drink. There is no one who doesn't have long eyes to say that Li Xiao doesn't want to lose face if he doesn't drink. Li Xiao doesn't refuse anyone who comes. of coconut milk.

For other crews, they are generally not important people, and they dare not ask the director to toast. Only someone from Li Xiao’s side started the show, and he also gave a good response. Everyone followed suit, but also He didn't dare to stay down and talk to Li Xiao.

On this table, apart from Li Xiao, Ren Xinyuan and Chen Yong are the most popular. Everyone understands the relationship between the two and Li Xiao, and their personalities are not bad. Although the author is taciturn, many people in the crew have been helped by him.

The person who was supposed to clink glasses and toast was Fengmei, but clinking glasses with a minor was a bit irrelevant, so Fengmei was ignored.

Fengmei felt complacent, and ran to other tables to chat with the little girlfriends in the play, and she was not in a hurry to leave.

At this time, a girl with a hat pressed down came forward to toast, probably because she was in a restaurant, so she only wore a vest, which made her look cooler.

The girl came over with a glass of wine, Li Xiao also noticed it, stood up, and was about to clink the glass with her.

At this time, her feet were tilted, and she fell to the ground. The wine also poured on Li Xiao, and everyone was in front of her. one time.

With just such a support, the girl stretched out her hand to hold Li Xiao's shoulder, and Li Xiao's arm was on her waist. Coincidentally, the posture of the two of them seemed to be hugged by a princess.

Li Xiao didn't notice this, the movements of his hands were split at the touch of a touch, the palm of his hand was useless, and his arms straightened the girl upright, but this girl leaned very close to Li Xiao, almost clinging to her. Looking at the wet spot on his body, he said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

Li Xiao didn't give the girl a chance to get started, so he took two steps back indiscriminately. The girl's flustered look eased his frowning, and said, "It's okay, I'll just do it myself."

This moment happened in a very short time, and Chen Yong also stood up immediately, standing between Li Xiao and the girl.

When this incident happened, the girl was too embarrassed to continue toasting. Seeing that Li Xiao didn't mean to blame, she said a few more words of embarrassment and left in a hurry.

Seeing that the people at the two tables around looked over, Li Xiao smiled and said, "It's all right, let's continue."

All kinds of chatting voices sounded again, Li Xiao didn't pay much attention to the discomfort on his body, wiped it with a tissue and didn't care anymore, but couldn't help frowning, the girl just now was very unfamiliar to him, and he didn't seem to have seen it in the crew , didn't think about it anymore, even though he was very confident in his memory, but there were so many people coming and going in the crew, he might not have seen every one of them.

At eleven o'clock, Li Xiao bid farewell and left, taking Fengmei along with her. As for Han Yuan, just let him stay and play.

Chen Yong was driving the car, but Mei Feng didn't ask the assistant to pick her up, and she also got into Li Xiao's car.

In the car, Fengmei said: "Brother, let me know in advance of the road show when the time comes, and I will definitely cooperate as much as possible!"

Pointing to her shallow dark circles, Li Xiao smiled and said, "I don't know when the movie will be released, so don't think about it so much, go back and have a good rest, go to school and study hard."

The summer school starts, and Fengmei has already entered the third year of high school. Time is tight and tasks are heavy. Even if the film needs a road show, Li Xiao does not intend to let Fengmei participate.

When it comes to studying, Fengmei sighed, "Study is so tiring. My grades were not particularly good before, but they were not bad. At that time, I laughed at brother Peng Peng's poor grades, but now I realize that I have to work and It’s hard to balance the two when it comes to reading.”

It's too tiring from work, but it's better to take the exam. Li Xiao nodded, "Yeah, yes."

Looking at Fengmei again, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. When filming, you even ask a tutor to make up lessons. Where did you get so much energy?"

When an actor is filming, it doesn’t mean that there is your scene today, you can shoot it when you go there, you have to wait, and you don’t know how long you will wait, because the director does not necessarily shoot fast or slow for the front shot, but you must be on time arrival.

And Fengmei is very familiar with this. While waiting for the play, she even hired a tutor to go to the crew to make up lessons for herself.

Of course, the tutor is likely to be hired by the parents, but Fengmei is also very cooperative, and she can often be seen reading a book quietly on the sidelines in the crew.

With so much pressure at such a young age, Li Xiao can only fulfill her responsibilities as an older brother so as not to let her be dragged down by work.

Before Fengmei got out of the car, Li Xiao said: "Just finished filming, take a good rest for a while, but don't think about picking up work after the rest, how about this, you don't have to arrange any work for these two months, the film will be about one month later. It can be completed in the next month, and you will be required to run a road show at that time, and the schedule will be free."

How can a director directly ask an actor not to accept a job for two months? Even though Li Xiao felt a bit domineering, Fengmei still nodded.

Seeing Fengmei trotting over to hug her mother who was waiting at the door, Li Xiao smiled, pressed the car window, and went home!
