This director needs to apologize

Chapter 16 Exclusive and unexpected reunion in the sky

Cheng Yu returned home that night and listened to the recorder again. After some consideration, he decided to suppress this interview with Chen Yiming.

On the one hand, it is untimely. When the industry is waiting with great anticipation for "Guandu" to break the record, it throws cold water on it. Do you still want to get a performance bonus this month?

On the other hand, it is also out of good intentions. Compared with Wu Kesen's rising reputation, Chen Yiming is too low-key. At this time, anyone who jumps out and goes against the mainstream view of uniting the three regions across the Taiwan Strait to fight against Hollywood will be attacked by the world's public opinion.

Cheng Yu entered the contents of the voice recorder into the computer and threw it into the folder named "Study Materials". Cheng Yu went to bed early.

The next morning, Cheng Yu handed in his homework for XIA XIA BIAN LUAN and ZAO. After having lunch in the cafeteria and taking a nap for two hours, he rode on The little electric donkey rushed to Wukang Road.

This is a task assigned by my director last week. It is said to be a gift film for next year's expo. This week I happened to film a scene with a foreign actor, so I asked Cheng Yu to follow it and make a tofu cube to suit the occasion.

It's nothing more than snapping a photo of Chinese and foreign actors in the same frame to publicize the achievements of Chinese and foreign exchanges on the literary and artistic front in Shanghai.

This kind of political task is the most boring, but as the mouthpiece of "Modu Evening News", it cannot be absent, so it was assigned to Cheng Yu.

He contacted the crew on Monday and was told that filming had been suspended due to heavy rain. He only received news last night that filming would resume this Friday afternoon.

Cheng Yu secretly pouted at that time. After all, he had an endorsement and a guarantee. He would stop shooting as soon as he wanted to, emphasizing the randomness.

It is estimated that the film has been filmed and has been discarded, and it will only be broadcast on the Modu TV Documentary Channel.

While he was thinking wildly, he drove north along Wukang Road.

As soon as I turned Fuxing Road, I saw a crowd of people on the road ahead. A large group of people formed a circle, all weighing their feet and looking in.

Cheng Yu's heart moved. Judging from the location, it should be Duoduo Restaurant at the entrance of Ding's Garden. Could it be the crew the director mentioned?

There was such a big movement, what were you filming?

He pulled over and locked the car, and instead of calling his contact, he squeezed in with his camera bag on his back.

Journalists, to a certain extent, have a professional instinct of voyeurism. Deliberately unaware of the interviewees and secretly observing them is a routine operation.

When I squeezed in, I saw that the crowd watching was really a production crew.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows facing the street in Duoduo Restaurant, you can have an unobstructed view of the indoor scene.

Cameras, lights, recording poles, standard crew configuration, what makes everyone outside look strange is the actors inside.

There is a large round table in the center, and sitting in the center on the left is an elderly gentleman wearing a black tuxedo, with a black top hat on the right.

Beside him, sat a middle-aged lady in a black skirt and flat hat.

Behind the two people, there were two rows of people in black and sunglasses standing neatly and solemnly.

It is easy to tell from their hair color and facial features that the group on the left are all Westerners.

No wonder it attracts onlookers, foreigners are very common in Shanghai, but those dressed like this are rare.

There were three people facing each other on the right. The one in the middle was a young foreign girl, waving her two dazzling white arms and saying something excitedly to the old man.

To her right is a Chinese man, sitting sideways with half of his face showing through the glass.

As an aspiring entertainment reporter, Cheng Yu recognized at a glance that it was Gu Yuehe who was seriously injured in a car accident at the beginning of the year!

He momentarily ignored the other hunched and shrinking figure on the left side of the girl, and did not bother to capture the stills of "Chinese and foreign in the same frame".

At this moment, there was only one name left in his mind, Guyuehe!
Unexpectedly, it was just a routine trip, but there was an unexpected gain!

You know, Guyuehe has not only never appeared in public since his injury, but has also been silent on rumors about his retirement and even subsequent plans.

It turned out that I was secretly hiding here to film.

Does this mean that Guyuehe's withdrawal from the circle is purely a rumor?

Oh my God!

Exclusive from heaven!

Cheng Yu put down the camera in his hand and was no longer in a hurry to take photos for identification.

Since the crew did not engage in closed filming and allowed passers-by to watch, the news of Gu Yuehe's comeback could no longer be suppressed.

As an entertainment reporter with great ambitions, how can he be satisfied with being a sensational headline-maker?
Of course, we need to dig deeper and figure out all the causes and consequences of Guyuehe's comeback, so that we can make it sound and well-founded, with pictures and the truth.

He took out his cell phone and dialed the contact number of the crew.

As an aspiring entertainment reporter, taking secret photos is so despicable. You can definitely enter the studio and shoot openly!

……

It seems that Cheng Yuming was overdoing it, or that he was stuck in a mental block.

The crew of "Holiday in Magic City" never thought of hiding the news of Guyuehe's participation. Guyuehe also acted in person in previous location scenes, and many locals have met him.

Lao Gu himself didn't care about this. The reason why he kept silent was just because he really didn't have any plans in the near future. Being roped in to star in "Holiday in the Magic City" was completely unexpected.

He was unshaven and deliberately pretended to be old. Cheng Yu, as an entertainment reporter, could naturally see through it with a sharp glance, but that didn't mean that ordinary people could too.So, I filmed "Holiday in Magic City" for more than half a month, and I have always been a transparent person in the entertainment industry.

As for Cheng Yu's interview task today, it was actually assigned by the Cultural and Creative Office.

Cheng Yu followed Xiao Mei into the restaurant, turned around the front desk, and saw the entire crew.

The inner half of the hall was separated by a screen, leaving only the walkway by the window, which was probably a temporary dressing room.

To the right of the center, there is a row of monitors diagonally facing the door. The person sitting behind cannot see his face, only a fisherman's hat is exposed.

There was a tangled mess of props and cables on the ground, and many staff moved skillfully between them, but not a single sound was made.

At this time, a man's voice came from behind the monitor.

"Xiangrui, do it again."

"Tell Lily to look like a princess."

"Remember, keep calm."

"When the princess regains her responsibilities, it means she also has the corresponding power. The princess is not stupid."

"Reserved and arrogant, the princess now has more initiative to defend her willful rights. As for the limits of rights, it is up to the princess to decide, not the minister."

Cheng Yu felt that the voice sounded a bit familiar.

The silence in the hall made Cheng Yu retract the idea of ​​asking Xiaomei for information. He leaned against the wall with his camera bag and waited for the shot to be completed.

Soon there was a sound coming from the small hall facing the street next door.

""Holiday in Magic City" No. 20, seven scenes, fourth shot, third shot."

After the script was written, there was a lot of lines mixed in Chinese and English.

Automatically skipping the English part, Cheng Yu concentrated on listening to understandable Chinese.

"I was instigated. He is the mastermind. He planned everything. I am innocent and it has nothing to do with me."

"Please believe that I have absolutely no malice. This is just a harmless joke. The method may not be appropriate, just because of a little cultural difference..."

Suddenly, there was an eerie silence next door.

After a while, an extremely quiet female voice spoke a long string of English words.

Cheng Yu didn't understand it, but somehow it sounded good, as if he was listening to a symphonic poem with its own reverberation.

The person talking to him was an elderly male voice with a deeper voice. Although he didn't know the specific meaning, Cheng Yu actually heard quite complicated emotions from it.

At first it was fair and a little harsh, then respectful and a little disapproving, then irrepressible joy and relief.

Cheng Yu couldn't help but be very curious. If he turned on the recorder, he could figure out the meaning of this conversation.

But he knew the rules. If a visiting reporter secretly recorded something on the set, it almost meant that he was ousting himself from the entire entertainment industry.

As a pursuing entertainment reporter, he has sufficient professional ethics.

After the male and female voices crossed several times, there was finally a word that Cheng Yu could understand.

"Crack!"

The voice behind the monitor spoke again.

"Very good, keep one."

"Lily, control your anger, just a little above the water, not too much, otherwise you will lose your temper."

The female voice that shouted Ka sounded again, with unconcealable resentment.

"Yi Ming! Please translate for me, what is forced style, what is TM's forced style?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter both inside and outside the hall.

Cheng Yu leaned against the wall and waited patiently.

"This shot has passed. Change the camera position and do it again."

"Very good, Lily, keep your current feeling, let's keep one last line."

"Pass!"

Amidst the noise, Cheng Yu, who could no longer hold his position on the ground, stood up and saw the true appearance of the fisherman hat behind the monitor.

It really is him.

No, in less than a day, why did he change from Mr. Chen to Director Chen?
