China Entertainment: Return to 2007

Chapter 85 The Tyrant on the Set
As Sun Tzu said in the Art of War, what is imaginary is what is real, and what is real is imaginary.

After "Bottom Hot Girl" became a hit, Xu Ge had already guessed that this day would happen.

For this reason, he specially communicated with Ni Ni.
On the grounds that it will not affect Ni Ni’s further development,
The external caliber is unified with the boss and classmates.

This kind of thing is normal in the industry.
After all, there is a huge difference in the appeal of singles and non-singles to fans.
Especially actresses.

Ni Ni has just become famous. If it is revealed that she is in love with Xu Ge,
If nothing else, male fans must run at least 1 and a half.

For this reason, Ni Ni felt very sorry and even felt very guilty for a time.
She always felt that she was dragging Xu Ge down.

After all, Xu Ge is just a director and doesn't care about reputation at all.

But who would have thought that Xu Ge, a scumbag, was eating from the bowl and looking at the pot,
From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to officially reveal his relationship with Ni Ni now.

"Ni Ni, you said that you and Xu Ge are just ordinary classmates and a boss-employee relationship, so how do you explain that we just came together in his car?" A middle-aged male reporter said aggressively.

"Journalist friend, if you take Xu Ge's car back later, can you say that you and Xu Ge are in a relationship?" Ni Ni replied without hesitation.

Middle-aged male reporter: "..."

"Ni Ni, Xu Ge has chosen you as the heroine every time since "Wan Wan". You insist on saying that you are just ordinary classmates. Do you think we will believe it?"

"This time Xu Ge has chosen Zhang Yi as the leading actor. Do you think there is any special relationship between them?"

Zhang Yi: "..."

Xu Ge: "..."

I didn't expect that Erni would become so fierce and mouthy?He doesn’t even care about his own people!

"Okay, everyone, today is the launch conference of "Happy Family", so don't talk about irrelevant things!"

Seeing the reporter pestering Ni Ni endlessly, Xu Ge quickly interrupted for fear that Ni Ni would spit out some secrets.

When the reporter couldn't find any clues and saw Xu Ge getting angry, he could only temporarily suppress his doubts and turn his attention to Uncle Da.

"Uncle Da, I heard that the star of Yangtze River No. [-] was originally planning to ask you to play the role of the male protagonist's father, but you refused, so he took the role himself. Is there anything you want to say?"

"Nonsense. Although Xingzai and I haven't filmed together for several years, we have always had a good relationship. The role of Yangtze River No. [-] is not suitable for me at all, and Xingzai has never invited me. You are just spreading rumors!" Uncle Da Put on an angry look.

"Uncle Da, this "Happy Family" is also said to be a comedy. Do you think Zhang Yi can compete with Mr. Xing in the comedy field?"

"I haven't even made the movie yet, how do I know now? If you really want to know, can't you find out by going to the cinema after the movie is released?"

"Uncle Da, movie fans really want you and Xingye to star in a comedy together again.
When will you be able to fulfill your dream of becoming a billionaire movie fan? "

"There will be opportunities. As long as I haven't died and he hasn't retired, we will definitely cooperate again."

Hey, I really hope this sentence can really come true.

Xu Ge sighed, with all kinds of emotions in his heart.

Looking at the entire film and television industry, this golden pairing of Master Xing and Uncle Da is also unique.

But it just so happens that they are such an irreplaceable golden pair.

After a few years, they gradually drifted apart, and never cooperated again in their lifetime.

This makes fans like Xu Ge, who grew up watching their movies, quite regretful.

'Uncle Da, no matter what you said is true or not, but since you said it again, in order not to leave you any regrets,

If you have the chance, I will definitely help you make your dream come true...'

Secretly making up his mind, Xu Ge stopped thinking about it.

If he really wants to do this, his current abilities are far from enough.

Uncle Da is easy to talk to. If you give him enough money and respect, everything will be easy to talk about.

It will be difficult for Mr. Xing to handle it.
After all, he has become successful and has no shortage of fame and fortune.
And has officially retreated behind the scenes,
I want him to appear again,

It's really difficult.

In the morning, after the press conference ended, Xu Ge summoned all the main creators and had a beautiful launch banquet together.

Have a good night's rest,
The next morning, "Happy Family" was finally officially launched.

..............................

"When did you start wanting to commit suicide?"

"Not long."

"Can I ask why you want to commit suicide?"

"Maybe I don't have the confidence to live..."

"..."

"I heard that you have a friend? Could it be that he is instigating you to commit suicide?"

"No, we only met him for the first time in the hospital..."

"..."

In front of the monitor,

Xu Ge sat on the director's throne, watching Zhang Yi and Lao Zhu's performances, frowning and saying nothing.

This section is about the male protagonist’s suicide attempt again.

was taken to the hospital,

Then suddenly I saw a ghost,
Exhibited all kinds of weird behaviors.

His behavior was deemed as mental illness, so there was a funny scene where a psychiatrist diagnosed him.

The role of psychiatrist was given to Lao Zhu by Xu Ge.

This role is just a guest appearance,

It happened that Lao Zhu was free, so Xu Ge asked him to appear.

There are many ways to perform comedy;
There is no sense, like Uncle Xingye,

There is black humor, such as Ning Hao and Wang Bo,
There are absurd farces, such as Jim Carrey’s Desktop,
There are orthodox tragedies and comedies, such as Shen Pao Marley.

"Happy Family" is undoubtedly an orthodox tragicomedy.

This kind of tragic comedy places extremely high demands on actors.

Actors need to use their most realistic performances to impress the audience.

Excessive exaggeration and excessive restraint will make people feel exaggerated and make people laugh.

Lao Zhu's performance cannot be said to be bad, it can only be said to be quite poor.
Perhaps because of the nonsensical nature of "Wan Wan", Lao Zhu was quite exaggerated in both his lines and expressions.

Zhang Yi is the opposite of Lao Zhu. Now he has never been exposed to comedy.
Therefore, the performance style is relatively restrained.

Comedy is different from drama. Excessive restraint will only lead to insufficient tension. Seeing such a performance,

Not to mention the audience, even Xu Ge had a hard time getting into the scene.

In an instant, Xu Ge shouted decisively: "Ka! Zhang Yi, old pig, come here."

Lao Zhu and Xu Ge have lived together for nearly two years. To put it bluntly, as soon as Xu Ge sticks out his butt, he knows what Xu Ge wants to do.

Hearing that Xu Ge's tone was wrong, he sighed softly and walked over to be scolded.

As for Zhang Yi, his IQ and EQ are both fine. Of course, he also knows that Xu Ge will do nothing good if he lets him go.
Seeing this, my heart tightened, and I walked carefully to Xu Ge.

“Old Zhu, what we are filming is not nonsense, and the performance cannot be too indulgent.

Although the role of the psychiatrist only appears twice, it is full of laughter and you have to pay extra attention. To the surprise of Lao Zhu, Xu Ge did not get angry. Instead, he calmly explained the problem to him: "A psychiatrist is a well-informed profession. His psychological endurance is very high.

Although he noticed something was wrong with the male protagonist, he was also shocked that the male protagonist spoke to the air.

But there is no way that you would be so shocked that your eyes would almost pop out of your head and your breathing would become rapid. "

After a pause, seeing that the old pig was still a little ignorant, Xu Ge smiled and patted his shoulder: "Maybe you don't quite understand how to be restrained. Let me give you an example.

If you won 500 million now, let me ask you, would you yell and tell the world that you won? "

"No, unless you are a fool." Old Pig replied affirmatively.

"Yes, but your performance just now was like that fool!"

Old Pig: "..."

"The role of a psychiatrist must be a little colder. Put away the wretchedness in your bones.
If that doesn't work, just think of yourself as a pig butcher.

And Zhang Yi is just a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered by your men.
No matter how hard a pig struggles, it's just a matter of one knife..."

Zhang Yi: "..."

After sending the old pig to go away and adjust his condition, Xu Ge looked at Zhang Yi with an evil expression.

A director is like a king;
Different people will use different methods to deal with subordinates who make mistakes.

Without saying anything, Xu Ge just stared at Zhang Yi blankly in front of hundreds of people in the crew without saying a word. Zhang Yi was sweating coldly and his heart was pounding wildly.

"Director Xu...I was wrong..." Zhang Yi touched the sweat on his forehead and whispered carefully.

"What's wrong with you?" Xu Ge laughed softly without even looking at Zhang Yi.

"I know I let you down..." Zhang Yi admitted his mistake honestly.

"Zhang Yi," Xu Ge took a sip of water and finally looked up at Zhang Yi: "Let me ask you one question, how big is your ambition?"

"This...Director Xu..."

"Do you want to win the Best Actor Award?" Xu Ge said calmly.

"Think." Zhang Yi raised his lowered head and looked at Xu Ge firmly.

"Okay, I'll give you half an hour to adjust. After half an hour, you'll be different and prove that you have the strength." Xu Ge said concisely and to the point.

"Yes." Zhang Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead and stepped back carefully.

The director is like the commander-in-chief. Wherever problems arise, they must be solved as quickly as possible.

Why do the same group of actors behind the scenes produce completely different effects?

The reason is the director's ability.

A great director knows everything and knows what he is doing. If there is a problem in any link, he will be able to detect it in time and solve it quickly.
As for the rubbish director, he doesn’t understand anything, the actors are lazy and let loose, and they deal with it behind the scenes.
How could this possibly make a good film?

Xu Ge pointed out Lao Zhu's actual problems in a few seconds, and forced Zhang Yi to admit his mistake without saying a word.

The control he showed on the set was no worse than that of a well-known and mature director.

Next to her, Ni Ni looked at Xu Ge with admiration. Xu Ge was so powerful just now, and he managed Zhang Yi who was a little arrogant while talking and laughing. She couldn't help but marvel at him.

'This Xu Ge is incredible, and he is an out-and-out tyrant on the set. It seems that he can't be lazy for a while, and he has to be extremely careful when dealing with Xingzi. Sitting on the chair, Uncle Da took a sip of wolfberry tea and secretly raised his evaluation of Xu Ge.

Originally, he came here just for the pay, but now that he has seen Xu Ge's true strength, he doesn't dare to use his little thoughts for the time being.

Jiang Wu looked at Xu Ge thoughtfully. In Xu Ge, he saw the shadow of his brother who was always pressing on his head, making him almost breathless.

Although Yi Xiang Qian Lai is only eight years old, he is very mature. He has participated in TV programs as early as when he was 4 years old. In the past two years, he has frequently appeared in children's programs.

He is familiar with Xu Ge’s position in the crew,
Faced with the boss and idol who controls his destiny for the next ten years,
He carefully memorized the script and figured out the role, fearing that he might accidentally offend Xu Ge.

Xu Ge stood up and stretched, very satisfied with the caution shown by everyone.

Today is different from the past,
In the past, he had no name, no money, and no power, and it took a lot of effort to drive the crew's chariot.
But now, with all the fame, money and power, just saying a few words will make everyone have to be more careful.
This sense of accomplishment is no less than conquering Master Ni Ni and Liu.

After half an hour,

The crew started working again,
This time, Lao Zhu has obviously improved a lot.

"I heard that you have a friend? Could it be that he is instigating you to commit suicide?"

Looking at Zhang Yi with a smile, Lao Zhu's plump old face was calm, and his eyes were sincere and polite, as if he was asking an old friend what he wanted to eat tonight, rather than the self-hysteria of a mental patient.

"No," a trace of confusion flashed in Zhang Yi's eyes. He turned his head and looked at Jiang Wu who was sitting next to him, and then looked at the old pig in a white coat. There was a hint of doubt in his voice: "He and I are in the hospital. It’s the first time we’ve met…”

"Oh, is there another one?" Lao Zhu nodded and looked at Zhang Yi seriously.

"No..." Zhang Yi shook his head reflexively,
The next second, he blinked, looked left and right, and said blankly, "Who is crying?"

"Oh, there's another one crying!"

Lao Zhu suddenly understood. He nodded seriously and used a pen to cross out the previous diagnosis of one friend on the medical record and changed it to two.

"Who smoked that cigarette?"

Ignoring Lao Zhu's confused eyes, Zhang Yi suddenly stood up and slowly walked towards the filing cabinet behind Lao Zhu step by step.

Lao Zhu looked at Zhang Yi in surprise, with just the right amount of shock in his eyes.

Zhang Yi was wearing an old gray shirt, and the stubble on his face was clearly visible. He cautiously approached the filing cabinet.
Immediately afterwards, the cabinet door was opened.

"Woooooo~" As soon as I saw it, Yongmei was wearing a floral skirt, huddled in the cupboard door and covering her face with a handkerchief, crying.

"What are you doing here?" Zhang Yi's eyes were full of surprise and confusion.

"I'm sorry," Yongmei let her hair down, loosened her handkerchief, and revealed a pair of heartbroken and sad eyes: "I'm sorry for crying here~"

Worthy of being a movie queen!
Xu Ge secretly praised Yongmei's acting skills.

"Why is this person crying here?"

Zhang Yi turned around and asked Lao Zhu.

The old pig was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of understanding.

Ignoring Zhang Yi's questioning, Lao Zhu turned around and quickly dialed the phone: "Hey, take this patient away..."

"Ask why you let her cry here?"

"Oh, there is someone crying here, let's take her away together..."

"Did you hide it here?"

"Nurse, nurse."

"Why hurt this woman?!"

"Nurse! Nurse!"

"..."

"0K! Very good. The old pig is in good condition. Keep it up.
Zhang Yi has made some progress, but it's not enough. He's a bit too hard.

You are not Star Master, you cannot grasp the essence of exaggeration.
To narrow it down a bit, the best comedy is about making a big move.

Attention all departments, here’s another one! "

"Yes, Director Xu!" Everyone responded in unison.
