This director needs to apologize

Chapter 342 You order the food and I’ll buy it.

Chen Yiming and An Xixi smiled at each other and walked side by side to the Octagonal Pavilion where the film set was located.

As soon as he approached the crowd, an unknown ghost started to slap his hands, and soon everyone started to clap along with them, gradually converging to the same rhythm.

Obviously, what An Xixi said was clearly heard by them.

Chen Yiming tried hard not to show a proud expression, and glanced sideways. An Meizi was worthy of being experienced all over the world, and there was no shyness on her face.

It's good, the "couple" are quite compatible in this regard, both are cheeky.

Chen Yiming didn't want to let everyone down. He raised his hand to suppress the applause after more than ten seconds, "We will have dinner tonight, let the local boss Fu pick the place, you order the dishes, and I will pay for the food."

There was another cheer in my ears, this time it was more sincere.

"It's agreed, the dinner party is for me, the producer, to celebrate the launch of "500 Days of Summer Solstice". It has absolutely no other meaning. If you don't like me, you must give me the respect of Mr. Chen."

"Shut up!"

Even if Chen Yiming didn't know, he could guess that Xiangrui must have instilled a lot of "common sense about love" into An Xixi behind his back.

The trestle is considered an iconic scene in the script of "500 Days of the Summer Solstice". It is played in several scenes, both in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

The other scene was where Liu Dongjun and his good friends drank to drown their sorrows. Chen Yiming guessed that this scene was what the crew had been grinding away for a week.

Give Xixi back to me, and you can put it aside. "

"You have the nerve to say that you are the producer, but the opening ceremony has been nowhere to be seen. After arriving, you hooked up with my heroine. Brother, what I am filming here is a romance film. I will soon film the breakup scene of the male and female protagonists. Look. Looking at Xixi's spring flowers in full bloom, it doesn't look like she's about to break up?
If you don't help me, don't make trouble for me, okay? "

Liu Dongjun was even more embarrassed, and An Xixi also covered her mouth and laughed, and smiled auspiciously, "Obviously Dongzi couldn't get into the state, and it was your Xixi who was dragged into the scene. Now that everything is fine, things are combined, and An Sheng'er can finally film."

There's something going on here, but Chen Yiming didn't ask too much, but changed the subject empathetically, "Dongzi, you've been working hard these days. I heard from Xixi that she couldn't get into the mood for a long time, forcing you to perform a one-man show for a week. "

In her group, the monitor was simply a decoration, so it was appropriate for him to sit there.

Then he grinned more cheerfully and said, "Congratulations, Xixi, you heard me right, you have to hit this dog man hard, otherwise you have to wait."

"You're such a naughty man. A big old man wants a girl to confess his feelings. A great director is amazing!"

If Xiangrui had not changed the script, there would be two scenes in The Autumn Zhanqiao. One is the first "breakup" between the male and female protagonists. Liu Dongjun confesses his love and An Xixi refuses.

Chen Yiming looked around and found that all departments were almost in their places, so he quickly walked to the director's chair placed in the pavilion.

"Okay, okay, hurry up and take the time to film. Director Fu will be unhappy if you make trouble again. Let's all go and go work on our own."

The synopsis of the story that Chen Yiming relayed to Xiangrui did not mention the male protagonist's two friends. However, screenwriting skills are universal after all. When Xiangrui expanded the script, he "restored" these two supporting characters.

Liu Dongjun looked embarrassed when Chen Yiming turned his gaze away, and said calmly, "Congratulations, Brother Chen and Sister An."

Directors have their own quirks when filming. For example, Chen Yiming likes to stand in front of the monitor, and all instructions, big and small, are conveyed by his assistant.

After the first pass of output, before Chen Yiming could think about how to respond, Xiangrui himself broke through and burst out laughing.

In "500 Days of Summer", the male protagonist Jonzef also has such a female best friend, played by Chloë Grace Moretz, who Chen Yiming really likes.

Xiangrui said to Liu Dongjun again, "Okay, now do you feel like an outsider licking the dog? Can you feel at ease filming?"

Xiangrui is on the other extreme. I wonder if she is used to being an assistant director. She likes to be hands-on on the set. She stands next to the camera and stares at the whole process, wishing that she could steal all the work of recording.

After Chen Yiming finished speaking, he walked towards Xiangrui, who had a disdainful expression on his face, looking at him as if he was looking at something dirty.

Moreover, Xiangrui also secretly arranged a secret love line for his female best friend, which was full of the flavor of a bloody soap opera.

Chen Yiming once made a stern protest against it. Why should a good pure love education film be tainted with a smelly love triangle?
Xiangrui, on the other hand, is very convincing. She believes that there is no pure relationship between men and women in China. Whether it is a male best friend or a female confidant, either one of them is up to something evil, or the relationship is tacitly indulged in both directions. Anyway, it is not innocent.

Moreover, Chen Yiming was unable to refute Xiangrui's rhetorical question. Even if there were true friends of the opposite sex, the actors on the big screen would not act beyond the pale. Can the Chinese audience in front of the big screen believe it?

Chen Yiming had to admit that what Xiangrui said was reasonable. The perception of a movie is not based on the director and screenwriter who are the producers, but is deeply rooted in the hearts of every movie viewer. When he watched the original film in his previous life, didn't he secretly guess whether Ke Luo liked the male protagonist?
Thinking that "Five Hundred Days of Summer Solstice" was now an auspicious story, Chen Yiming simply let it go.

Sitting in front of the monitor, Chen Yiming saw the young actress playing the female best friend. She was already sitting on the embankment, with her legs dangling on the sea.

The crane camera has not panned to the front, so only a side face can be seen, white and red, round and short, like half an apple.

Chen Yiming was happy, wasn't this Zhao Xiaotao? He didn't know where Xiangrui found her.

Chen Yiming thought about this person's resume, not to mention, it was quite suitable to choose her to play the role of female best friend.

Zhao Xiaotao is 27 years old this year. He is not from a professional background. He started out as a sidekick in Hengcheng and only starred in his first TV series last year.

Fortunately, the drama received good reviews. If nothing else happens, Zhao Xiaotao will have many heroine projects to follow.

For her, now is the best time to step into the film industry. The supporting actress in the new film of China's number one female director can achieve great success if she performs well, and she will not take the blame if she fails. She can advance or retreat. Shou.

Of course, Xiangrui is not a philanthropist. Chen Yiming guessed that she was betting that Zhao Xiaodao was on the fast track to becoming a celebrity. When the movie is released in the second half of next year, his popularity will skyrocket. By then, it will naturally be possible for her to have a story that began with her humble eyes and discerning pearls. .

These thoughts were just a passing thought in Chen Yiming's mind, but even putting aside publicity considerations, Chen Yiming quite agreed with Xiangrui's casting.

Zhao Xiaotao has a round face that is very un-cinematic, and he is thin and small. To be honest, his innate foundation will not be very popular with movie directors.

However, as the saying goes, there are no suitable actors, only suitable roles. If he does not play the heroine to carry the drama, Zhao Xiaodao's inherent shortcomings are not a kind of "scarcity" in today's increasingly homogeneous film industry. "Woolen cloth.

For the role of Chloe in "500 Days with Summer", Zhao Xiaodao is a localization option that can be considered.

She has a round face and a weak aura. She doesn’t steal the spotlight at all when she plays a supporting role. Like now she is showing fierce breasts in the monitor, scolding Liu Dongjun with a face full of hatred. Logically speaking, the effect of the scene is right. But it is a "barking bark" with a sense of joy.

The acting skills she honed as a part-timer in Hengcheng allow her to easily cope with her current role. To put it bluntly, it couldn't be simpler. She can just play the female best friend in the direction of the male and female protagonist and maid in the ancient puppet show. I love you so much that it's hard to say it out loud. Isn't it just the golden lock in Return of Pearls?

This kind of character Zhao Xiaotao is very familiar, or in other words, there are no female cast members in Hengcheng who are unfamiliar with him.

In his previous life, Chen Yiming worked as a tool director in Hengcheng. He often received instructions from the big boss. Thirty episodes are too few. Give me a super double.

Then Chen Yiming and the resident screenwriter added more water to the drama. Since the main plot was determined not to be significantly changed, he could only add branch plots to the various supporting roles. Of course, the maids of the male and female protagonists were the first to benefit.

With the addition of supporting roles, it becomes a great match. It is definitely the fast track for Hengcheng's female ensemble actors to take the lead. Unfortunately, it is difficult for male ensemble actors to follow this path. Baoyu and Qingwen can be the true love that breaks the feudal world, but this The relationship cannot be exchanged between Daiyu and Ming Yantou.

While Chen Yiming was reminiscing about the gradually forgotten anecdotes of Hengcheng in his previous life, he watched the scenes between Liu Dongjun and Zhao Xiaotao through the monitor.

He soon saw the problem. Dongzi really hadn't entered the state yet. No wonder a lovelorn scene took so long.

In reality, he is used to being the winner in love, so playing the role of a lovelorn dog-licker is a bit unsatisfying. He is also a "veteran" actor who has starred in two blockbuster movies, but he was overshadowed by the cute newcomer Zhao Xiaodao!
Soon Xiangrui shouted, first asked Zhao Xiaodao to leave, then snarled at Liu Dongjun, and then replaced An Xixi.

This time the scene is not next to the Bajiao Pavilion, but in the middle of the trestle.

The two of them walked side by side, Liu Dongjun carried the Qiandu Encyclopedia of "Changhong Yuanyin" without distinguishing between east and west, Chen Yiming was stunned, Xiangrui was really unscrupulous in order to support his hometown.

But to be honest, it is quite appropriate for the male protagonist, who is anxious and ready to confess his feelings, to reveal his inner feelings by memorizing an encyclopedia.

Otherwise, the upper limit of directors with screenwriting ability is high, and there will be no trace of product placement.

An Xixi interrupted with a smile and said that you and I are both piano drifters, so don't pretend to be a local in front of me.

Walking between the sea and the sky, An Xixi was as happy as a gazelle, jumping and spinning on the trestle.

Liu Dongjun was even more lost in the girl's flowery smile, and his anxiety and hesitation slowly disappeared. Chen Yiming nodded secretly and acted like a nympho. It was obvious that this kid had been cheating on female classmates in school.

An Xixi stopped and leaned on the fence, chatting with Liu Dongjun for the first time about her hometown far inland and her longing for the sea.

So after his sister opened up her heart, Liu Dongjun also chose to confess his feelings, and he resolutely went through with it.
