China Entertainment: Sister, I don’t want to work hard anymore

Chapter 16 Finishing

May 9, morning.

Northwest of Yanjing, Yongfeng Science and Technology Park.

The crew of "Struggle" is in full swing in the "1610 Food Bank", filming scenes of heartbreaking utopia.

Today's scene is about Lulu, wearing an exquisite secretarial uniform issued by Zhutou Company, dangling in front of Hua Zi. As soon as she left, Hua Zi felt that she wanted to be green, and she immediately opened fire.

"All departments prepare!"

"Start shooting!"

Wen Zhang came over with beer, clinked the bottles with Chu Hui, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chu Hui took a sip of wine and said coquettishly: "Is there a cuckold in your house? Look for it and let your buddy wear it for a while!"

Wen Zhang advised from the side: "It won't happen to Lulu, please stop thinking so wildly."

Chu Hui took another sip of beer and said, "Xiang Nan, I'm not bragging."

"I didn't even take a look."

"Xiang Nan, you said the jeep is not fuel efficient, right?"

"She's just a broken lantern. What's she trying to do with her?"

"It's just pretending to be a waste, there must be something wrong with it!"

The lines spoken by Chu Hui sounded ridiculous, and they all spoke of Hua Zi's sadness. Translated, it means "What's wrong with Y! My brother is jealous!"

The lines written by Shi Kang are quite interesting. They seem to be rambling and meaningless, but they also highlight the inner entanglements and conflicts of the characters.

Shi Kang's lines are very unique, often pointing to his own confusion and confusion, with a kind of bravado of stacking up a bed and building a house.

Chu Hui's twisty and realistic performance, coupled with Shi Kang's ethereal lines, also appropriately interpreted Huazi's inner conflicts and struggles in the play.

"Click! Passed!"

With an order from director Zhao Baogang, the scene where Hua Zi complained was successfully passed.

However, in Chu Hui's view, Huazi didn't love Lulu enough. He knew clearly that Lulu wanted stability, but he kept putting it off, unwilling to talk about marriage, and never gave her any promises.

In the end, Lulu chose Hua Zi's good brother, the pig head who could allow her and her family to live a stable life.

On the other side, Xiangnan, who had just comforted Huazi, was making a fuss with Yang Xiaoyun in the civil affairs bureau.

One thing to say, the lines in the drama "Struggle" are quite interesting in this era, such as the scene where Yang Xiaoyun and Xiang Nan are getting divorced:

Yang Xiaoyun said: "Bah! I don't love you!"

Xiang Nan: "If you cook instant noodles for me at night and add two eggs, you don't love me! Damn you!"

Yang Xiaoyun: "I boiled dog eggs! Bah!"

Xiang Nan: "You cook instant noodles for dogs and add two eggs! Bah!"

……

Because the lines in the play are full of Beijing flavor and the dialogues are interesting, the actors inevitably laughed while filming.

The most impressive scene for Chu Hui was when Ma Yili and Tong Dawei played against each other. Not only did everyone laugh, but even the director Zhao Baogang, who likes to act serious, couldn't hold back his laughter and ran to another room to snicker. Tears fell down in the end.

Because of the influence of screenwriter Shi Kang, Chu Hui also drew on Shi Kang's unique writing style when writing the script "Who Makes the Call in My Youth".

Chu Hui's writing speed has also been maintained at about three or four days per episode. More than a month has passed and he has written 11 episodes of script content.

Seeing that "Struggle" was about to be finished, Chu Hui was thinking about finding an opportunity to show the script of "Who is in charge of my youth" to Zhao Baogang first.

If Zhao Baogang likes the script, Chu Hui will not bother to find anyone else and sell the script to him directly, which saves worry and trouble.

But Chu Hui was also worried that Zhao Baogang would resent him because he was acting on the set of "Struggle" but was not doing his job writing scripts every day. He thought that he would recommend his script to Zhao Baogang after the filming was completed.

For the remaining twenty days, Chu Hui worked almost every day between two o'clock and one line. He was either going to the studio to film or staying at home to write scripts. His days were full but exhausting.

During this period, Li Xiaolu went to Chu Hui's house to look for him once. The two of them drank a little wine and almost had a mouth to mouth. Fortunately, Chu Hui braked in time and did not do anything to regret Li Xiaoran.

Chu Hui was not an innocent young man. He did not execute Li Xiaolu on the spot, mainly because he had promised Li Xiaoran in advance that he would protect her like a jade during the one-year custody period.

If it were not for the fostering period, Chu Hui could not imagine what kind of torture the petite and exquisite Li Xiaolu would have endured.

Another time, I went out with Zhou Xiaoou to drink and eat skewers, talk about life, and reminisce about the glorious past.

September 10, evening.

Produced by Xinbaoyuan Film and Television Company and directed by Zhao Baogang, the youth inspirational comedy "Struggle" has officially finished filming in Yanjing.

After the closing banquet, director Zhao Baogang, who has studied vocal music for 7 years and loves singing, led the main creators of the "Struggle" crew and appeared at the door of a KTV near Yanjing Workers' Stadium.

Zhao Baogang was seen wearing a white T-shirt and dark casual pants, with his big belly highlighting his wealthy style. What attracts even more attention are the actresses behind Zhao Baogang.

Ma Yili wore a white off-shoulder top, looking playful and sexy, while Li Xiaolu wore a pink dress, which looked girlish.

Followed closely by Wang Ludan, Teng Xuan, Xu Cuicui, as well as Tong Dawei, Chu Hui, Wen Zhang, Zhou Xiaoou and others.

A group of handsome men and beauties, chatting and laughing along the way, became a scene in the night.

Entering the KTV's large box, Tong Dawei, the leading actor of "Struggle", led the actors and toasted a glass of wine to director Zhao Baogang and screenwriter Shi Kang.

Maybe it's because he often drinks and sings with young people. Zhao Baogang, who was born in 1955, is not only a Maiba, but also has a younger mentality. The singers he admires the most are Wang Fei and Wang Feng.

Zhao Baogang can sing many of Wang Feng's songs, but the singing is really not good, very amateurish and out of tune, but he can tell that he has some bel canto skills.

This cannot be entirely blamed on Zhao Baogang. After all, the songs written by Wang Feng are relatively difficult, and he often cannot sing them. It is not surprising that the songs have broken notes and are out of tune.

However, everyone was very supportive. As soon as Zhao Baogang picked up the microphone and sang, applause and cheers were inevitable.

There is no doubt that Zhou Xiaoou, who is a singer, is definitely the best singer at the scene, but in order not to steal the limelight from director Zhao Baogang, he has been smoking and drinking with Chu Hui on the side.

Perhaps because of their compatible personalities, the relationship between Chu Hui and Zhou Xiaoou has always been very good, and they would get together alone in private.

Zhao Baogang was very angry. He directly took the microphone and called Zhou Xiaoou to him and said, "Xiaoou, don't hide today. You must sing a song for us!"

Now that the director said so, Zhou Xiaoou no longer kept a low profile. He directly took the microphone from someone else and said cheerfully: "No problem, director, I will sing whatever you want me to sing."

Zhao Baogang didn't hesitate and said directly: "Then you have to sing us a famous song of your Lingdian band tonight - "Love Me or Not"! How about it?"

Zhou Xiaoou said boldly: "No problem! Make arrangements!"

"Okay!" Everyone said in unison, looking forward to Zhou Xiaoou's singing.

As the melody of the song "Love Me or Not" played, Zhou Xiaoou, who was usually not very confident on the set, seemed to have changed. He suddenly became confident and became the most handsome boy in the audience.

"You find a reason to balance me

Find an excuse and let me accept it

......"

It was a good thing that Zhou Xiaoou didn't speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, everyone was immediately silenced. This familiar singing voice seemed to bring people back to that era instantly, and it also aroused cheers from everyone.

There is a saying that professional singers are indeed different. Whether it is pitch, timbre, or even breath, they are not on the same level as ordinary people.

Zhou Xiaoou is also very knowledgeable and does not overdo the singing. Halfway through the song, he even invited director Zhao Baogang to sing a duet with him.

"do you love me
I don't know what to say

do you love me

Tear off the hypocrisy, maybe I will feel better

......"

Soon, under the leadership of Zhou Xiaoou, the song "Love Me or Not" changed from a solo at the beginning to a chorus at the end.

Everyone drank, sang and smoked, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.

Under the stimulation of alcohol, cigarettes and lights, Ma Yili and Wen Zhang embraced each other openly, completely ignoring the eyes of others.

Chu Hui, who was a little tipsy, was also encouraged by others to sing a song called "Then That's How It Is" that someone asked for. His singing was not bad, but it was better to be careless. Li Xiaolu felt that what he sang was... Much better than director Zhao Baogang.

Of course, you can't say this in front of the director unless she doesn't want to mess around.

After singing Power Train's "So Be It" and receiving a little applause, Chu Hui handed the microphone to Ma Yili, who was sitting next to him.

I don’t know why, but Ma Yili speaks very sweetly and softly, but when she sings, she brings out the feeling of earthquake relief. Her singing style is very old-school...

Thinking of finishing filming today and finally saying goodbye to the character of Huazi, Chu Hui felt empty and had an indescribable feeling, so he drank a glass of wine alone and ordered a Huazi as a farewell.

He held a cigarette in his hand, curling it up and covering his face.

At this moment, Li Xiaolu held a wine glass, sat down next to him, and said with a smile: "Huizi, let's have a drink."

"Okay, come on, let's do it!" Chu Hui didn't hesitate, directly raised his wine glass, clinked it with Li Xiaolu, and drank it down in one gulp.

Because the box was too noisy, in order to facilitate communication, the two of them could only get together and bite their ears. From time to time, a string of wind chime-like laughter floated from time to time.

Chu Hui has never understood why Li Xiaolu always likes to cling to him. He can't sing rap, and he's not a popular star. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be her type.

When it comes to handsomeness, there are many people who are handsomer than him, such as Takeshi Kaneshiro, Louis Koo, Daniel Wu, etc., at least seven or eight. Chu Hui is still self-aware of this.

However, compared with the male protagonist Tong Dawei, Chu Hui felt that he was not far behind, or even worse.
