Start with a god-level director

Chapter 121 The Monkey
On a Saturday night, an ordinary family in Daming.

Wang Yanan made tea, prepared peanuts and melon seeds, turned on the TV, and waited for the Focus Weekend on Jade Bird TV tonight.

This is a talk show on a television station affiliated to Universal Film and Television Company. It is broadcast on Saturday nights. It starts with current political events and hot issues. The host will ask the parties, experts, including scholars, to sit on the sofa and talk while talking.

Generally speaking, Wang Yanan would not watch this program, it is a bit serious after all, but today, not only her, but also her brother, sister-in-law, boyfriend and parents, several people sat in front of the TV, waiting for tonight's broadcast .

Because what everyone heard was too sensational.

Mom and Dad are lecturers in the university, with a strong cultural atmosphere, and everyone in the family likes watching movies, as do her boyfriend and sister-in-law, and everyone has cultivated the same hobbies.

Every weekend, the family goes to the theater together, watching a good movie, and then discussing the content of the movie, etc., or criticizing the director for being too vulgar.

Director Shen entered everyone's field of vision more than a year ago and was quickly loved by everyone.

Starting from The Godfather, the family has never missed any of the films directed by Shen, whether it is Schindler's List or The Silence of the Lambs. After the films of Director Shen come out, everyone will watch them together as soon as possible, and then they are very satisfied.

Movie tickets are not expensive, and to be able to appreciate such a magnificent masterpiece at the price of a breakfast, and to experience the establishment of the Tongtian Tower, everyone has a feeling of witnessing history in their hearts.

For a long time, everyone's evaluation of Director Shen's films has been very good, until the release of East Evil and West Poison.

……What is this stuff?
The Legend of the Condor Heroes is a novel that everyone likes to read. Everyone has read it several times, and even discussed what it would be like if they filmed it by themselves. look at you……

I didn't swear, but I didn't think about recommending it to my friends. When my friends asked how the movie was, everyone's answer was...it's too artistic.

After all, there are some things that everyone says are good, but most people really don't appreciate them.

For example, Wang Yanan really couldn't see it at all.

But... the second time, when the family was watching a movie at a family gathering, Mom and Dad said, you go to the Thunder Prologue, we want to see the evil and the evil.

Well, the young man didn't know what he had committed, so he went in again with the adults, but he still couldn't understand.

Although I understand a little bit, I find it interesting.

But... Mom and Dad watched it with gusto, and when they got home, they said that Director Shen was awesome.

On the second weekend, when the family was watching a movie together, Mom and Dad said, let's watch it again, and you can go to other movies...

False adults.

The young people looked at each other, but suddenly felt a sense of guilt, as if... their education level is not high, they can't understand movies, and they will even be despised by their parents?

After all, these days, although the box office of East Evil and West Poison has failed, the related discussions are in full swing. Wang Yanan has a classmate who is studying at the Art University in the Imperial City. I heard that her tutor asked each of them to write a movie viewing record. Come and write, don't be afraid of any authority, if you hate it, hate it, if you don't like it, you don't like it, if you criticize it, criticize it, it's nothing, you can scold to death.

The students let go of their hands and feet, and criticized Director Shen with the vigor of young people, thinking that he was too literary and artistic, and ruined the movie, etc. This kind of fake and empty stuff is too bad, and they wrote a long article , After handing it in, the instructor said, very good, I have saved your black history, and I will let you read it again in a year.

Obviously, high-level executives, high-level literary and art circles, people's evaluation of this movie is extremely high.

Just like many film festivals and many awards, art films often win awards because these films are worthy of encouragement-people travel, sacrifice box office, etc. Experimental films promote the development of film art, and those professors in the literary and art circles , The judges, they see the evil and the evil, and they will not criticize it for not being able to understand it at the first time, but will consider whether my appreciation level is not good enough for Director Shen to make this movie, or do I need to watch it again?
What's more, the setting, color, and structure inside are really different.

These are the people who really control public opinion, although they can only guarantee justice afterwards.

As a result, the evaluation began to turn around.

For example, some people say that East Evil and West Poison is a set film, the actors shoot East Evil and West Poison during the day, and shoot Two-Faced Man at night, that is, Fight Club, etc.
Director Shen used half of his strength to make an excellent movie that you can't understand, what are you planning?
Well... Everyone thought it was a rumor at first, but they didn't expect that they got confirmation from the actors that Director Shen really made two films within three months.

It’s okay, the fourth family reunion, I didn’t go to see Dongxiexidu, because the attendance rate of this movie is too low, it has been removed from the shelves, but, at this time, everyone saw the message from Universal Film and Television Company An announcement, Director Shen actually made three movies, Fight Club, plus East Evil and West Poison and East Success and Success!
What is this for?

After hearing the news, Wang Yanan didn't believe it.

Just like reading the newspaper a few days ago, they were suddenly surprised to find that Director Shen and Xiao Lizhu were also in the movie theater in the scene they watched that day, snuggling up in the corner of the back row. She still had some impressions of men and women. She remembered that although they both wore masks, they had extraordinary appearances, but who would have thought that they were Director Shen and Xiao Lizhu!

However, there are adventures among the crowd, but it is impossible for the three films to be filmed together.

However, a regular newspaper published the news, and said that Dong Chengxi had already sent the film for review, trying to replace the legend of the giant god next week.

... Well, everyone knows that Fight Club is the story of a double-faced man in Gotham. This man is evil on one side, kind on the other, and schizophrenic. However, why are there two versions?

Director Shen is also schizophrenic?
Also, since that's the case, why didn't one of the actors find out?
Also, the stock market is so noisy now, don't those short sellers know about it?
Each mystery surprised the whole family.

"Legend of the Colossus has temporarily postponed its release, but the company will replace the schedule with the movie East and West. East and West is a film edited by director Shen with the extras of the shooting while filming East Evil and West Poison. I hope you like it."

Well, this news is definitely a blockbuster. Not only did the film and television circles quarrel, but some shareholders who were washed out complained to Universal Film and Television Company, saying that they concealed important transaction information and so on.

For this reason, in addition to issuing a statement, Universal Films will also invite the two leading actors of the Eastern Evil and Western Poison crew to a TV station on Saturday night for a program.

Please be sure to watch this talk show!
……

Wang Ruomeng is wearing a formal dress. She is beautiful and dignified and looks heroic. At 32 years old, she does not look old at all, but adds a bit of grace and luxury.

She is now a celebrity in Ming Dynasty, especially because of the East Evil West Poison movie, which has attracted countless attention. Everyone said that she is very good, and countless young people regard her as their idol, but when she walked into the studio , my mind is still dizzy.

Because she signed a non-disclosure agreement, after the movie was released, she did not participate in various talk shows other than the formulaic praise, and she did not talk about the details of the filming. When asked privately, she would not It’s just that director Shen’s filming is smooth, interesting and good (several leading actors have signed a non-disclosure agreement and cannot disclose details, which is one of the reasons why the film can be kept secret).

She has complicated feelings about Dongxiexidu.

First of all, she absolutely loves the movie.

Although the box office was a big failure, the actors who participated in the show liked it very much. After all, it was only filmed for three months, and the money was enough. What's more, the quality of the film is very good. Everyone is a literary artist, so it is natural to see this film. How different is the literary film.

Although it is a group portrait show, it is also very worthwhile. Everyone is very happy to cooperate with Director Shen. Everyone understands that Director Shen has the ability to turn stones into gold, and he can cook any dishes with different tastes.

Second, the cat owner, Director Shen, was too aggressive, making her think of killing this guy again and again!

Call you two-line operation, set-up, set-up, you fucking set-up with a hammer!

Since she was a girl, Wang Ruomeng has been thinking about how to become a director in addition to making movies. It took seven or eight years to finally finish the relevant courses and read a lot of books. Full of enthusiasm, she started her first movie. , all kinds of troubles, and then at the darkest moment of life, she saw the light-her krypton gold dog eyes were blinded by the light.

Director Shen worked on the set for three months, and what happened every day hammered Wang Ruomeng's heart all the time. Her dream of directing had long since disappeared without a trace.

She is also a director, but why are the two completely different? She has experienced the destruction of cognition again and again, and finally understands the difference between humans and animals!
After the movie was finished, she immediately disbanded the original crew and told everyone, thank you for playing with me for such a long time, but I really can't play anymore. Director Shen is my demon, born to destroy me The director's road.

The friends comforted her full of sympathy, saying that no matter what, you have a reason for your breasts being bigger than his!

This matter is not over yet. After the release of East Evil and West Poison, several groups of investors came to Wang Ruomeng, saying that your bad movie... Of course, those people would not say that, they just said that they were interested in investing in Wang Ruomeng's movie, For these bastards, for those who want to be popular, Wang Ruomeng will drive them away with a mop!
It's so bullying, you actually think I'm pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger...

Then... Just yesterday, she heard the news that Director Shen was making a set of movies, but not two, but three!

"Director Wang, Director Shen is too awesome!"

The talk show hadn't started yet, and the actor who played Hong Qigong in the Dongxiexidu crew was extremely excited.

Countless movie fans liked his sentence in Dongxiexixidu, "Who said you can't bring a wife when you wander the rivers and lakes."

"Well, I know, he's awesome."

Wang Ruomeng nodded.

"Tell me, what is the structure of Director Shen's brain? We didn't know the three films were shot together. This is really amazing. Director Wang, you are not authentic. You obviously know the inside story, why didn't you tell us? If I had known this earlier, I could have performed better."

The actor is a bit regretful. After all, he was almost mentally ill at that time, and many memories were distorted. I don't know if his performance is a little insufficient.

The actor's words made the corners of Wang Ruomeng's mouth twitch.

Nominally and theoretically speaking, she is the director of Dong Xi Du and Dong Cheng Xi Jiu. This is written in the film contract, so many people have called her since yesterday, all of them are very enthusiastic, saying that Can you get to know Director Shen through you, or everyone in the crew called to say that Director Wang, you are really amazing, and it was so hard to hide it from us.

Yes, everyone thinks that she knows something, but... what does she know!
After hearing the news for the first time that day, she smiled contemptuously, expressing that those people were crazy, how could such a thing happen, the three films were filmed together, Shen Yu is not a god!

She was still drinking tea leisurely, rubbing the silver layer at home, but after 10 minutes of rubbing, she suddenly sweated profusely and her hands and feet were shaking non-stop.

The cat looked at her dissatisfied, and ran away, but she was dumbfounded.

She is not mentally retarded, she is not an idiot, she graduated from a regular university, and has completed all the courses of the Imperial Film Academy by correspondence, her IQ is very high!

Scenes of the past flashed before her eyes, and she remembered everything that happened on the set.

In any case, she is also the nominal director on the set, and director Shen also gave her face very much and felt sorry for her.

It's pity for her... For example, she took the director's book to ask for advice, for example, she took the script to ask for advice, for example, when she helped Director Shen serve tea, his expression was like that of a landlord who looked at a widow who came to borrow money .

Alas, you are just a poor person. You can learn as much as you can. I will not stop you, but I will never borrow money. At most, I will let you have a meal.

That guy has a very cruel heart (Shen Yu is also very desperate, his real level is not good, let alone helping Wang Ruomeng to revise the script), he just comforted her to read the book carefully, saying that your script is good, don't serve tea and water, and shoot well Movies, as long as you understand what I filmed, you will be a teacher...

At that time, she was a little bit contemptuous of Director Shen. All the beauties begged you like this, but you gave me some pointers. What's the point of being mysterious...

Do you think that in ancient times, the Bodhi Patriarch accepted apprentices to play charades?

When Wang Ruomeng was a child, he watched Journey to the West and saw Master Bodhi hit Sun Wukong three times. The monkey understood this action, and then went to find Master Bodhi that night and got the true biography.

She thought this was fake, but she also felt that Shen Yu should be testing her.

She worked diligently in the crew, filming the film with all her heart, thinking that Director Shen could see her hard work, but she never thought that this heartless person would run away as soon as the filming was over, and she would not learn from her teacher at all. Opportunity.

You didn't even pat her on the shoulder three times, but you gave me a chance to come to your room at night!

Although I don't necessarily go.

She felt that her fate had not yet arrived, and she often called to get closer. She felt that she had already understood the eight senses, and Director Shen only needed to give some pointers.

But now, she understands that the hint has already been given, you are not even comparable to a monkey, how could Patriarch Bodhi accept you as a disciple?

Hou Zi understood at that time, and she... stayed on the set for three months, and then more than a month later, until today, she finally understood what director Shen's thoughtful, half-smile expression was. , She said several times that she wanted to learn from Director Shen, or begged Director Shen to show mercy as his secretary assistant could do anything... What was his helpless expression!
She has always complained that Director Shen doesn't take pity on flowers and jade, doesn't understand style, flips through the book called Xuan Wu Ding every day, but just ignores her!
But today, she realized that she was also very desperate.

Patriarch Bodhi hit the monkey three times, and the monkey knew what to do, but she... Director Shen filmed three movies in front of her, and she didn't realize it at all!

She is not even as good as a monkey!

"Director Wang, please sit down."

A staff member politely asked her to sit down, and then asked curiously.

"Director Wang, you are awesome!"

This sentence hurts my heart. After all, many people think that she knows the inside story.

She blushed so much that she really understood why some people would die with others in despair.

Just because that person gave her a blank stare!
She has always believed that the unspoken rules for actresses are the greatest insult, but she never thought that there is an even greater humiliation!
You despise me...

But... people look down on your body, they also despise your IQ, he doesn't even bother to show it off in front of you, he just runs away after filming the movie.

You are worse than a monkey!

Director Shen, Uncle Shen, you have the guts to appear in front of me, see if I bite you to death!

……

Blue Bird TV.

"Director Shen is a very good person. He shoots the movie very smoothly, from beginning to end, without any confusion. In this regard, I can't compare to him."

This time on the TV talk show, Wang Ruomeng received a call from President Xiao. During the phone call, President Xiao's voice was a bit hoarse. It seemed that the result of a quarrel with someone, the two sides communicated very well, and it was too much to despise Director Shen together.

"Yeah, when we were shooting the movie, we never thought that it would be a mix of three movies."

The actor replied according to the lines, of course his expression was not fake, on the contrary, he really looked like he had seen a ghost.

He was in the same mood as Wang Ruomeng. He only knew that he had taken some extra shots, and he didn't have any doubts at all. After all, it was incredible to say such a thing.

"I can see it a little bit, but... I asked Director Shen, he just smiled and said don't tell it, this is a small surprise, and I plan to give it to friends in the future."

Wang Ruomeng's lines were also prepared in advance. President Xiao finally improved her IQ a bit, but the more she praised Director Shen, the more Wang Ruomeng wanted to kill that bastard!

No ghost will let him go!
"By the way, did you hear that East into West is a comedy?"

The host asked with a smile.

"Well, yes, a very funny comedy."

A guest from Universal Studios—originally planned to let Xiao Lizhu go up, it would be better to sing are you ok or throw onions again with singing and dancing, but President Xiao said, even if I die, I won't go!

I'd rather see you go bankrupt and become scientific research dogs!
If you have the guts, you'll kill me!

So, someone else came, and she was bragging about Director Shen's comedy ability.

This answer frightened the people in front of the TV into embarrassment.

Is the director of The Godfather, Saving Private Gordon, Schindler's List, The Silence of the Lambs and The Dawns Here Are Quiet a master of comedy?
Nonsence!

When I think of the scene where Mr. Hannibal eats steak while shitting, everyone feels distorted and uncomfortable. When I think of Mr. Schindler chatting with people in a gentle manner, he suddenly pulls out a machine gun and kills people. It's incredible.

How could director Shen be a master of comedy?

His movies are all serious, classic and even literary!

The guest's statement was of course refuted by another guest, who expressed firm disbelief.

"Well, I know people don't believe it, but... I have a video here, and this video is very interesting."

The guest took out a video tape, handed it to the director, and then narrated the origin of this video tape.

Director Shen went to Russia, and the dawn of filming here was quiet.

The filming went smoothly, but after the film was completed, the eldest princess didn't like some nude scenes of women. She felt that it was disrespectful to girls, and she had a fierce fight with Shen Yu (pseudo-history).

According to the contract, director Shen has the final editing rights, but the eldest princess can remove this part in the name of review. release.

Regarding the princess' insistence, Director Shen said, how about we make a bet, whoever loses and whoever gives way?
The content of the bet was very simple, it was to give Shen Yu ten days to change the eldest princess' mind.

The eldest princess sneered in disbelief, Xiao Lizhu supported the eldest princess, neither of the two women felt that they would lose, then Shen Yu thought about it, he was in Russia, so he couldn't offend the eldest princess too much, so he took Xiao Lizhu as the chicken and killed For the princess to see.

The guests happily talked about the bet that happened, and how confident the princess and Xiao Lizhu were, and then...the host announced that when it was time for the commercial, let the audience guess how Director Shen made the Russian princess bow her head and admit her mistake of.

Wang Yanan in front of the TV almost smashed the TV in anger, how could someone be so malicious?
The other guests also looked at the host indignantly, and they also wanted to know what happened.

Only Wang Ruomeng was not angry or thinking. She felt that there was no need to think. If she could figure out the answer to the riddle, would Shen Yu still treat her like a monkey?
Ahhhh, she remembered now, the first time she met Director Shen, she was bullied, she was so angry that she complained loudly, you can't bully me like this.

Director Shen gently handed her a handkerchief, comforting her and saying he was sorry, she thought he was a good man, and he smiled very gently.

But now... She just realized that this person is the real villain.

You can't bully people like this...

She's not...a monkey!
