The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 468 Restraint
"Hello, Director Zhong Jichang."

"Hello."

The host sat on the sofa and congratulated: "Congratulations on Far Cry breaking through 6000 million at the box office."

"Thank you."

"This is my first film in mainland China. I am not well-known and it is not a big star cast. It is really beyond my expectation that I can achieve such results."

The host smiled and said, "As far as I know, this is the fifth film you have directed."

"Yes."

"I have also watched "The King's Woman" and "Go, King's Woman" before. You are the screenwriter of these two dramas. They are very exciting."

"Haha." Zhong Jichang changed his sitting posture, holding his chin with one hand, looking more confident.

"It's all in the past, not worth mentioning."

When "Young and Dangerous" was popular in Hong Kong.

Two "anti-Young and Dangerous" movies have emerged, namely "The King's Woman" and "Go, King's Woman".

Zhong Jichang is one of the founders, and is therefore known as a "genius" screenwriter.

揸FIT means the person in charge of the Young and Dangerous gang.

"The box office keeps rising, and many netizens think it's because of Yang Mi. What do you think?"

After a few small talk, the host got straight to the point.

"I think it was good luck, but of course the hard work of the staff cannot be ignored."

Zhong Jichang added: "It is undeniable that Yang Mi is a factor, but I think it is inaccurate to say that a mainland actress alone can support such a large box office."

The host asked again: "Why did you choose Yang Mi to star?"

“It was the producer’s recommendation.”

Zhong Jichang explained: "When preparing for this film, I had never heard of Yang Mi's name, but the producer had been in the mainland for a long time and he strongly recommended it, so I agreed."

"Why let Yang Mi wear a bikini? The host straightened his upper body and chased after her.

Zhong Jichang laughed and said, "In horror movies, the heroines usually wear cooler clothes, but I still managed to depict something youthful and unrestrained."

"According to my observation, the film's reputation is not very good. On Douban and Time.com, audience ratings are generally low."

"In fact, I also received a lot of vicious abuse on Weibo. I think most of them are deliberately slandering Yang Mi because they don't like her. I saw it twice and it seems that Yang Mi has a deep conflict with another female star from the mainland."

Zhong Jichang didn't seem to care much. It is common for female artists in Hong Kong to tear each other apart.

He lamented: "According to the review rules of this game, we are lucky that horror movies can be released. It's not a scourge, why should we be so strict? It's all entertainment."

The host automatically ignored his subsequent complaints and keenly perceived a certain message.

"You just mentioned that Yang Mi had a deep conflict with another actress from the mainland."

Zhong Jichang recalled briefly: "Well, the promotion of this drama is mainly based on online marketing. I occasionally pay attention to Yang Mi's Weibo, and the fans of both sides quarreled fiercely in the comment section."

"Do you know Lu Yuan?" The host suddenly changed the subject.

Zhong Jichang raised his eyebrows and pretended to be confused: "I seem to have heard that this young actor is very popular in the mainland."

"The actress who is at odds with Yang Mi is his girlfriend," the host explained.

"Is that so? Then what?" Zhong Jichang didn't seem very interested in this.

"He is currently filming a new movie."

“Isn’t he an actor?”

"Yes, but he has recently transformed himself and directed and acted in his own film. The leading actress is the actress who Yang Mi doesn't get along with."

"How old is he?" Zhong Jichang straightened up and became interested.

"In her twenties, less than thirty."

"Ah."

Zhong Jichang smiled meaningfully, his body slumped down, leaning against the back of the sofa, crossing his legs, with the attitude of a senior, and a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"You are too young. You can't become a director just because you want to. If you force yourself to do it without systematic training and adequate preparation, the result will only be failure.

There are actually very few people who are truly talented as directors. I have seen many examples where many stars gave up after trying to transform themselves and returned to being actors.”

"So, you are not optimistic about his transformation?"

Zhong Jichang shrugged his shoulders, his attitude was very clear.

"Young people, don't turn back until you hit the wall."

Night, hotel.

"Oh my, I'm so tired."

Liu Shishi gently closed the door with his heel, dragging his tired body. His legs felt like they were filled with lead and every step seemed so difficult.

"call!"

She fell straight down, buried her face in the sheets, and it took her a while to come to her senses.

"Brother, I'm thirsty!"

I shouted, but after a while, there was no response.

She opened her eyes and suddenly remembered that her boyfriend was currently with people from other departments of the crew, preparing for tomorrow's filming.

"Why would I want to be a director? I'm so tired every day that I don't even like to laugh anymore."

She whispered to herself, revealing a hint of heartache.

As if remembering something, his tone turned annoyed: "I was blocked 20 times for one scene, and they still call it tapping into the actor's potential."

"Humph, you bastard, you definitely did it on purpose."

"I don't want to learn from the good ones, but I want to learn from the style of the King of Sunglasses."

She clenched her fists and waved them fiercely in the air, as if Director Lu was standing right in front of her.

Of course, she was just complaining verbally, she didn't feel unhappy at all. It was her boyfriend's first time directing and acting in a film, so she was willing to do it no matter how hard it was.

He rolled over twice on the bed and went into the bathroom.

About half an hour later, she came out of the bathroom in a light black suspender skirt, looking very charming. The fabric was silky and fitted, her curves were exquisite, and the hem just touched her hips. She glanced into the room and saw that her boyfriend had not come back yet.

She put on a facial mask, found her cell phone, and lay down on the bed. Murmuring began to be heard in the room.

"Mom."

"This, this, this, why is it so big?"

"I never realized she was so fierce before."

"Humph, you are so shameless. You only know how to use this for publicity. 6000 million box office is amazing."

"How dare they say that I have small breasts? I can't even promote myself if I want to. This is outrageous. Whose fans are these? Hey, they are actually Little Lions. Black fans, black fans, I..."

"Click."

Lu Yuan pushed the door open and saw Liu Haha lying on the bed with his legs curled up, his feet dangling, revealing his white peach petals, holding a cell phone and mumbling something.

"What are you doing?"

"Busy working?"

She immediately threw away her phone, her face full of joy.

"Yeah." Lu Yuan nodded and sat down on the sofa.

Liu Shishi climbed up from the bed, took off her black facial mask, twisted her waist, lifted her long hair, and sat on his thighs in a coquettish manner.

"Director~"

"Don't come over here, I'm all sweaty."

"It's okay, I don't mind, I'll wash it later."

Lu Yuan half-supported her hips, which felt good.

"What was that person mumbling just now?"

“Check Weibo.”

Liu Shishi wrapped her arms around his neck tightly and said, "I find that fans are a really complicated group. People love and hate them at the same time."

"Did they bother you again?"

Liu Shishi said coquettishly: "They said I was a bad woman and used tricks to charm you."

Lu Yuan smiled. There were a lot of comments like this on Weibo. Some advised them to break up, some said it was a good match, and some even wanted to use their good luck to kill them both.

"What do you care what they say?"

"Humph, I'm just a bad woman, so what!!"

She pulled her suspenders down, revealing a hint of whiteness, straightened her waist, moved her hips forward slightly, pressed his head into her arms, exhaled hot air, and called in a coquettish voice.

"Good brother~"

Lu Yuan stayed in her arms for two seconds, then used force with his hands to push her aside, walked towards the bathroom, and warned her.

"Don't follow me in."

Liu Shishi leaned on the sofa in a delicate manner, biting her hair, snorted, and pulled up her suspenders.

"If you don't want to go in, then don't go in. Who cares? You're such a nuisance."

In the bathroom, the shower was turned on, and Lu Yuan let the water flow down his strong chest.

Being a director is really tiring.

This is a position that requires overall coordination and a lot of professional knowledge.

Even though he has been an actor for a long time and is very familiar with the camera, he also knows what the director should do through constant learning and experimentation through watching films privately.

But for many things, you will only understand them if you really do them. What you learn from books is shallow, and you must practice it yourself to truly understand it.

But the most tiring thing is dealing with everyone.

The crew is a small society with all kinds of messy emergencies.

Sometimes, money and fame may not work. Everyone has a temper, and if you make someone angry, the worst that can happen is that you just quit.

He had heard many times before about directors or producers being put in sacks and beaten with clubs at night because of their inappropriate behavior.

He needs to regulate all these.

According to common sense, one should do subtraction in the initial stage, try to downplay oneself, and not act if one can direct, rather than add, directing and acting at the same time, and trying to do everything.

After all, a person's energy is limited.

Being both directing and acting, the scene must be hectic and it would be difficult to accurately interpret your ideas.

Even if he finds a luxurious filming team, he only needs to tell the corresponding person in charge about the effect he wants to achieve.

It still feels tricky.

However, all things are difficult at the beginning. As a director, he needs to grow, and Wen Muye and the studio team also need to grow.

The next play will be much easier.

When Lu Yuan was reviewing the details of today's shooting, he heard Liu Shishi running over in slippers, humming and knocking on the door.

"Dong dong dong."

"What are you doing?"

"Brother, are you hungry? Do you want me to feed you?"

"Not hungry."

"Oh." Liu Shishi sighed, lowered his head, and walked back.

Lu Yuan applied shampoo and heard the girl running back again.

"Boom boom boom!"

"What are you doing? Take a rest today, baby. Love needs to be restrained."

"I'm so mad, open the door, someone is saying bad things about you!!"

"Forehead"
