I'm not just a director

Chapter 336 Is this your sincerity?
  Jiang Pei'an only encountered knocking on the door twice during the night shift.

One time it was Zeng Li. At that time, Jiang Pei'an didn't understand why Zeng Li was knocking on his door in the middle of the night.

The two of them just said some useless words. Later, when thinking back to that night, Jiang Pei'an seemed to understand something.

The second time is this time. Jiang Pei'an has been in the industry for a long time, especially with his current reputation. He can probably tell what certain people want to do at a glance.

This time is no exception.

Let me ask you, if someone who has never spoken to you on a set suddenly knocks on your door in the middle of the night, what can he do in the entertainment industry?
  "Director Jiang, I'm sorry to disturb your rest. We have a scene with each other tomorrow and I want to ask you for advice on some acting matters."

Huang Shengyi said with a pure expression.

Hearing this, Jiang Peian smiled slightly and said:
  "If you don't understand the plot, you can ask Director Zhou directly. He is the director and screenwriter of this movie and knows more than me."

Huang Shengyi's expression froze when she heard Jiang Pei'an's words. If Zhou Xingchi was willing to pay attention to her, she wouldn't come to Jiang Pei'an's room now.

But she didn't stop there, instead she forced a smile and said:
  "Director Zhou has already taken a break. I think this scene will be quite important tomorrow. If I don't ask someone for advice, I feel a little unsure.

You also know that Director Zhou is a strict person. If I can't get the effect he wants on the set tomorrow, I, I will..."

She didn't say the next words, but her helpless look was quite heartbreaking.

To be honest, Huang Shengyi looks pretty good, especially when she plays the role of a mute girl in "Kung Fu". Because she has no lines, her eyes always seem to be filled with tenderness and helplessness, which makes people feel compassionate.

In the words of later generations, this is a pure white flower.

When Jiang Pei'an saw the role played by Huang Shengyi, he was also shocked and admired Zhou Xingchi's casting and shaping abilities.

But now, looking at Huang Shengyi himself after breaking away from the role, this posture is simply like high-end green tea...

"Well, okay, let me see what you don't understand."

Jiang Peian asked as he took the play from the other party's hand.

Upon hearing Jiang Pei'an's promise, Huang Shengyi approached Jiang Pei'an with a happy expression.

A gust of fragrant wind rushed towards me, and then Huang Shengyi's delicate and white fingers pointed at the place where the horizontal line was drawn on the script:

"That's it...here, my expression changed. Director Zhou said that I should use pleading eyes, but I, maybe I don't have the talent. When I perform in front of the mirror, I can't always capture that emotion. What should I do? Jiang guide……"

Huang Shengyi withdrew his fingers from the script, and instead pulled the corners of Jiang Pei'an's clothes, staring at Jiang Pei'an and pleading.

Is this coming?
  Jiang Pei'an felt the hem of his clothes being gently pulled by her. Xia Tian's clothes were thin. Although Huang Shengyi didn't exert much force, Jiang Pei'an felt the touch of the other party's fingers across his skin.

The opponent's position is quite high, which is interesting.

Jiang Pei'an held the script in his left hand, but his right hand found Huang Shengyi's hand holding the corner of his clothes and shook it violently.

Huang Shengyi trembled, and then looked at Jiang Pei'an in shock.

Jiang Pei'an ignored her, still held the back of her delicate hand and said:
  "Holy Cloth, I didn't bring many sets of clothes. Please don't tear my clothes."

"Oh, good, good."

Huang Shengyi quickly lowered his head and withdrew his hand from Jiang Peian's palm.

"The emotions expressed in this paragraph are actually not complicated. Your eyes only need to..."

Jiang Peian looked at the description in the script and interpreted it with a smile.

But at this time, Huang Shengyi had no intention of listening to what he said, and was instead a little absent-minded.

Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she put her palm back into Jiang Pei'an's palm again. She stared at Jiang Pei'an with her eyes and said slowly:
  "Director Jiang, I feel that the role of a mute girl is not very suitable for me. My dialogue skills are actually quite good. Director Jiang, aren't you filming "Painted Skin"? Can you give me a chance?"

Hearing Huang Shengyi's words, Jiang Peian smiled and said:

"Shengyi, your performance is indeed good, but you also know that the filming of "Painted Skin" has been started for two months, and all the characters that should have appeared have almost appeared, and temporary replacement is not realistic."

Hearing this, Huang Shengyi was not discouraged, but continued:
  "Director Jiang, you have other projects, such as "Legend of Sword and Fairy" or other movies that you are preparing. I feel that my performance is not worse than others."

Jiang Pei'an:

"But the heroine of "Sword and Fairy" has been decided a long time ago. As for my next movie, I guess it will have to wait until next year. The role is not a problem. The key is that you said your performance is good, but I haven't seen your other movies. Works..."

Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Huang Shengyi's eyes. She got closer and closer to Jiang Pei'an, stretched out a finger, slowly traced a circle on his chest, and said delicately:

"Then let me perform a piece for you, Director Jiang?"

"How to act?"

"Haha, look at..."

Jiang Peian stared at the other party with interest.

Huang Shengyi shyly closed the door behind him first, then looked at Jiang Peian's face and saw that he had no objection, then he breathed a sigh of relief and walked slowly to him.

She was wearing a white shirt with tight jeans underneath. Flesh-colored underwear could be seen vaguely in the shirt.

Originally this kind of outfit gave people the feeling of being lusted after, but it was wearing it on her body.

Coupled with her innocent face, she gives people the familiarity of the big sister next door who is in adolescence.

Huang Shengyi shyly unbuttoned his shirt slowly, one button, two buttons, three...

Under the dim light, the lace clothes underneath her slowly emerged, and her fair skin reflected the warm light...

Jiang Pei'an still stood there, watching her movements with a smile.

When all the buttons on his coat were unbuttoned, Huang Shengyi looked up and found that Jiang Pei'an was still standing where he was, without any further thoughts.

Moreover, the man in front of her gave her the feeling that he was watching a show with his chest folded, like watching an acrobatic performance on the street, and she was the monkey jumping up and down...

monkey?

This huge sense of humiliation made Huang Shengyi suddenly wake up. At this time, she wished she could find a hole in the ground and burrow down!
  "Director Jiang, you..."

"what happened?"

What's wrong? You should rush forward regardless of everything, and then we complete the deal, and you give me the position of the heroine!

Unfortunately, she couldn't say that. Sometimes, speaking too bluntly would only bring greater insult to herself.

Since she chose not to tell the truth, Jiang Pei'an still looked like he was watching a good show.

"you……"

"Didn't you ask me to watch your performance? Keep going, or what do you need me to do?"

Jiang Pei'an spread his hands and asked sincerely.

After hearing Jiang Pei'an's words, Huang Shengyi finally realized that he was just kidding himself!
  This makes her feel ashamed!
  However, Jiang Peian did not continue, but said expressionlessly:
  "I saw your performance and it was pretty good. I might consider you next time when I choose a heroine. Go back."

Hearing this sentence, Huang Shengyi felt so angry!
  You took it all off and you’re still pretending to be a director. Isn’t that what happens in the entertainment industry?
  But she also understood that the other party was setting her down, and at the same time she knew clearly that she had failed completely this time.

"Director Jiang, please go to bed early."

Huang Shengyi was so ashamed that he quickly turned around and left.

"Wait a moment."

Huang Shengyi stopped and asked without looking back:
  "Is there anything else?" "Button up your clothes and let people see you leaving my room disheveled. I don't know if they think I did something to you."

Jiang Peian said calmly.

Huang Shengyi:......

Huang Shengyi left, dressed neatly when she left. At Jiang Peian's suggestion, she also tidied her hair.

Watching her leave, Jiang Peian sat at the table and drank a cup of tea.

"You were just pretending to be a fucking saint."

He cursed himself silently.

Isn’t this kind of thing rare in the entertainment industry? Why can't I get over the hurdle in my heart?
  This reminded Jiang Pei'an of some novels he had read in his spare time. Each of the male protagonists in them had special skills, and they did what they were supposed to do without any sloppiness.

Fortunately for me, the duck that came to my door... flew away.

He was even kicked away by his own fucking kick.

After all, he is not a stallion, and he cannot take action without an emotional foundation.

"This is a fucking disease, and you have to change it in the future!"

……

The next day, Jiang Peian rushed to the set early.

"Good morning, Director Zhou."

"Morning, Pei'an."

Zhou Xingchi was already standing on the set and began to direct the crew to set up the scene.

With a crew of hundreds of people, the scene is quite big, especially in an old community like Longchang Apartment. It has the aura of a demolition team.
  "How was your rest yesterday?"

Zhou Xingchi put away the loudspeaker in his hand, looked at Jiang Peian and asked with a smile.

Jiang Pei'an nodded and said:
  "It's okay. Where are you, Director Zhou? You should still be able to adapt to the environment in the Magic City, right?"

"I'm still the same, it doesn't matter if I'm good or not."

Zhou Xingchi said calmly.

Jiang Peian nodded and said nothing.

Zhou Xingchi's insomnia has become a normal phenomenon. He has been suffering from insomnia since he started working on the set of "Shaolin Soccer".

The reason is naturally the harsh words to Xiang Jia.

Later, after the "Shaolin Football" investment problem was solved, his insomnia problem did not improve at all, and he could only rely on sleeping aids to fall asleep every day.

This is a man who is very tired from life and has a lot of ideological baggage.

"Good morning, Director Zhou."

A tired voice sounded, and Huang Shengyi appeared on the set with a haggard face.

Seeing her look like this, Zhou Xingchi frowned and said:

"Holy Cloth, did you not have any rest yesterday? Your condition is very bad today."

Huang Shengyi glanced at someone resentfully and said apologetically:
  "I'm sorry, Director Zhou, I didn't get a good rest last night. Don't worry, I will get into the mood as soon as possible."

Zhou Xingchi nodded, then called the makeup artist over and told her to apply makeup to Huang Shengyi to cover up the fatigue on his face.

By nine o'clock in the morning, the entire set had been set up. Zhou Xingchi sat in front of the monitor, looking at the picture in the camera, he shouted:
  "3, 2, 1, action!"

Hearing this, the entire set quickly took action.

During the past few days of filming by the "Kung Fu" crew, Jiang Pei'an witnessed what the speed of Hong Kong is.

Hong Kong films are in a hurry. In the early golden age of Hong Kong films, any film "made in Hong Kong" could sell for money.

For them, time is money.

Celebrities usually have several film appointments, and their schedules are limited, so the crew only has so much time, so it's hard to be unhappy.

Later, after I accumulated more experience in filming, I started to use the "second group".

For example, Fatty Wang only shoots literary scenes, leaving other scenes directly to the action director.

A commercial blockbuster can be divided into several groups. Directors usually only shoot one or two groups, and then put their name on it and make a movie...

But at the same time, Jiang Peian also witnessed what "Zhou's filming" is.

Among Hong Kong movies where speed is the standard, Stephen Chow is a special case. His movies can be shot very fast.

But after the filming of a scene is over, he will watch the scene again and again. If he finds that there is something unqualified or unsatisfactory, he will directly delete it and start over.

This gave Jiang Peian the illusion that the crew was filming very quickly, but the progress was very slow...

Jiang Pei'an stayed on the set of "Kung Fu" for five days. During these five days, he completed all of Brother Chen's scenes.

There is nothing left to do without him, and the "Kung Fu" crew will be stationed in the city for another two weeks because there are still some other scenes that need to be reshot.

"Pei'an, it's really a pleasure to work with you this time. I hope we have another chance to cooperate."

On the day Jiang Pei'an left the crew, Zhou Xingchi personally took people to the airport to see Jiang Pei'an off.

"Director Zhou, what are you talking about? You are a senior in the industry. I have learned a lot from following you."

Jiang Pei'an said with a smile.

It’s not that he was talking about scenes. The reason why Zhou Xingchi’s movies are so attractive is not only the golden signboard of the three words “Zhou Xingchi”, but also reflected in his understanding of movies from different angles.

For the same scene, the plot he produced was different from that of ordinary directors.

That's the difference between directors.

Jiang Pei'an has always shot according to the original film in his mind, which has resulted in his changing style without his own style.

Just a few movies are okay, after all, they are still exploring the style, and there will be no reaction from the outside world.

But as his works increase and his popularity and influence continue to increase, his films will be studied by more and more people.

In the end, I discovered that every movie this guy makes has a different style. What's going on?
  Did you find someone to take the photo?
  Moreover, this kind of work without its own unified style is not conducive to his later shooting at all.

There are only those high-quality movies in your brain, what will you do when they are all finished?
  Could it be that Xiying has quit the entertainment industry? This is unrealistic!
  Therefore, it is important to keep learning, form your own style, and strive to create a successful movie as soon as possible.

But taking the opportunity to continue learning from these famous directors and constantly enriching yourself is the only serious thing.

After bidding farewell to Zhou Xingchi, Jiang Peian flew directly to Hengdian.
