I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

  Chapter 112 110. One person, one reading

  Back in the room, when Xu Xin finished taking a shower, he heard movement outside the bathroom.

   "It's okay, you go back, I'll be back in a while."

  Knowing that it was his girlfriend who came, Xu Xin quickened his movements.

  When it is washed and comes out...

"ha!"

   "..."

  Seeing that he suddenly jumped out from the side of the corridor and put on a cute look to scare his girlfriend, the corners of Xu Xin's mouth twitched, and he said:

   "Childish?"

   "...hehe~"

  Yang Mi smiled, and glanced quickly along her boyfriend's upper body, her face flushed slightly.

  Xu Xin didn't mind her watching either.

  The development curve of the two is quite strange.

  On the morning of the third day of dating, my girlfriend's clothes...according to what the other party said clearly, I took them off in the middle of the night in a daze.

   Said that she was afraid of being hot.

   Then after picking her up, she said roguely that she was afraid of being cold, so she hugged her and hugged her all night.

  Anyway, Xu Xin is determined not to admit it...

  He has no memory of this at all.

  But according to this progress, it should be quite fast, but these days are actually quite restrained.

  The main reason is that these sisters are a little cowardly...

  Usually a hooligan, but when it comes to things, he's cowardly very quickly.

   But at least these days, the two of them are familiar with each other.

  As for the degree of familiarity... On the first day after getting the second room card, when the girl came to deliver breakfast, Xu Xin, who never expected that the other party would come, habitually lay there sleeping on his back...

   It was she who turned around and covered Sun Ting's eyes, pushed out the room, and then quickly covered Xu Xin with the quilt...

   You said she saw it, sure.

  But she was probably taken aback too, maybe she was dreaming about Dinghaishenzhen.

  The substantive relationship between the two is between the kind of "I am your person" and "I am your person at any time".

fantastic.

  So Xu Xin didn't shy away from her, instead he held his breath slightly, showing his muscular outline:

   "It's much better than when you first met me, right?"

   "Well, much stronger."

  Girls know that her boyfriend is talking about the scene when the other person’s clothes were charged with static electricity and accidentally exposed when he took them off during the shooting of the short video.

   At that time he still had a beer belly.

  Xu Xin picked up the script of "Wulin Biography" while talking, and lay down directly on the bed:

   "Sleep here?"

   "No, the cosmetics are all downstairs. It's time to take care of the leggings today, it's so troublesome, it will take more than an hour. I'll just lie down with you for a while~"

  Kicked off her sneakers, stepped on cute cartoon rabbit white socks, she bounced on the bed, and Jiojio stretched her boyfriend:

   "Look! Is it cute?"

  Xu Xin glanced at her, and suddenly attacked with her fingers inadvertently, scratching the soles of her feet.

   "Oops~"

   With a plop, the girl knelt down on the mattress, her face flushed slightly:

   "I hate you~ it's itchy~"

   "Oh~"

  Looking her into his arms, Xu Xin directly opened the second half of the script and asked:

   "Isn't it possible to maintain tomorrow?"

   "No, it's all planned. Today I'm going to apply essential oil, then apply cream, and put on a mask..."

   "...Still wearing a mask?"

   Kissed his girlfriend on the forehead in surprise, he was speechless:

   "What you put on your face you put on your legs?"

"The feet should also be pasted. From the soles of the feet to the heels, they have to be pasted. In this way, the dead skin will not be visible on the feet, and there will be that dry look. Especially under the camera, when you shoot, you can only see That powder puff color..."

   Unconsciously stroking the muscles on her boyfriend's stomach with her hand, she muttered:

   "It's troublesome. But who made my legs thin? This is called a body advantage. I must take good care of them~...I'm talking~"

  She straightened her legs and took off her socks, revealing her fair feet:

   "In the future, wearing high heels will easily deform or cause calluses. So this is a process that accumulates over time... You can't see anything in a short time, but after ten or twenty years, the gap will appear..."

   After finishing speaking, she raised her head subconsciously.

   Sure enough, her boyfriend's eyes followed his legs.

  So, she happily blocked the script with a smile, and turned her whole body on her boyfriend:

"Like it?"

   She smiled broadly.

  But he immediately sensed something, blushed, and came down embarrassingly.

   "Read the script, let's read the script~"

   "Little Coward."

  Xu Xin rolled her eyes angrily, and after hugging her again, started the script of Wulin Biography.

   "Episode 39 ~ Lu Xiucai is unreasonable, Guo Furong eats her own bitter mooncakes... Is this Zhu Wushuang me?"

   She points to a name at the beginning of the script.

"Um."

  Xu Xin responded.

  Yang Mi followed him while watching the content, and continued to ask:

   "Didn't you read all these a few days ago, why did you read it again?"

   "Because I think there is something wrong with this character."

  Xu Xin pointed to the content in the script and said:

   "This role...I'm not very satisfied."

"What's the matter?"

   "Her logic line is too weak. It feels like a... love brain, understand?"

   "...what brain?"

   Obviously, the girl has never heard of this vocabulary.

  Xu Xin didn't know how he came up with this adjective.

  But felt it was inappropriate, shook his head and said:

"It's not right, she is very insecure, she belongs to the kind... whoever gives me a smile, I can fall in love with someone without hesitation... It's like a homeless puppy... and according to the normal In the script, for example, in another story, people with this attribute are usually tragic characters. It is used to set off the emotional sublimation of men and women... it is actually the same here."

   "Isn't that good? The role of a classic female supporting role."

   "Okay, but the problem is that if you come to play...I want to dig deeper into what's inside."

  Although Xu Xin's tone was light, Yang Mi knew the meaning of these words very well.

  Although the sweetness in her heart is true...but she was even more puzzled:

   "It's just a sitcom, right?"

   "Who said sitcom characters can't dig deep?"

   "Well... well, anyway, I don't have this talent. I don't understand if you tell me~"

   retracted into her boyfriend's arms again, she yawned...

   "Ha... um... you lower down, let me smell your scent for a while."

"Um."

  Xu Xin adjusted his posture.

  Lie flat, no longer hugging her, but letting her hold her arm.

  I continued to look at the script.

   After waiting for about ten minutes, when he remembered to smoke a cigarette... he suddenly found that the other party had fallen asleep.

   "..."

  He thought for a while, and picked up the phone next to him.

   "Are you asleep?"

"No."

   "You come up here."

"…ah?"

   "Be quiet and send me a message when you get to the door."

"OK."

   A few minutes later, Sun Ting came to Xu Xin's door with a look of anxiety.

  Then, the door was quietly opened, and just as she was about to speak, Xu Xin made a silent gesture.

   Then handed her two room cards.

   "Go to her room and bring the cosmetics she needs to maintain, especially...the ones that care for legs, you know?"

   "...Probably, I'll take them all?"

   "Well, take it in a box, so you can take it with you when you leave."

"OK."

  Now, Sun Ting knows everything she should know.

   So not surprised that the two have "sleeped" together.

  It's just that she was curious about what happened between the other party and Sister Zeng...that made Sister Zeng so vigilant.

  But she didn't ask any questions, just took the room card and went downstairs.

  When she packed up her things and pushed the box, and opened the door of Xu Xin's room, she thought she would see the naked sister Mimi sleeping soundly...

   But it is not.

  Sister Mimi is actually wearing clothes...

   And there is no special smell in the room, just a faint smell of tobacco.

  Director Xu still held the script in his hand and sat in front of the desk, as if he was working.

   And when she saw her coming, she just nodded, then lowered her head and wrote something on a piece of paper...

  These two people...

   How strange...

  Sun Ting said heartily.

  But he didn't say much, and left directly.

   Xu Xin was so busy that it was almost 1:00, and then went to the bathroom, washed his face, and got ready for bed.

   He hugged his girlfriend who had slept so soundly that he couldn't sleep again.

  He instinctively touched the other person first.

Um.

  This time, he was sure.

   Girlfriend's clothes are intact.

  …

   5:30 in the morning.

   "..."

  Yang Mi was speechless, looked at her boyfriend who was still sleeping soundly, and started looking everywhere for clothes.

   Then I was taken aback...

no…

   Where are my pants?

   Do you still bring upgrades?

  Too much! ~

bad guy!

   Then I saw my own box and a message in my phone:

   “Cosmetics are in the case.”

  Thinking that this must have been done by her boyfriend after she fell asleep... Feeling the soft and silent tenderness and concern, she became beaming again.

   Quietly kissed her boyfriend on the cheek...

   Then he put on the clothes that God knows how he threw them at the bathroom door, pushed the box and walked out quietly.

  I have to make up for the maintenance I forgot last night this morning.

   But definitely not here.

  It will make him sleep.

  …

   "Xiao Xu, good morning."

   "Morning, Director Ma."

  Xu Xin, who was wearing a basketball vest and big pants, sat in front of the conference room and yawned a lot.

   After lighting a cigarette first, he sat on the back of the chair, looking hopeless.

   "Yo, what's the matter? What about the weak one?"

   "Leg hurts."

  Xu Xin shook his head:

   "The lower body strength training I did yesterday was very sore."

   "Oh~"

   Ma Wen responded, but before she finished speaking, a voice came from the door:

   "I don't have time to go to dinner. When I eat a meal, thousands of people in the crew are staring at me eagerly. It's not an important cooperation. I don't know how much money I will waste if I delay this day."

  Holding up the phone, Zhang Yimou walked in directly.

  Xu Xin's eyes moved...

   Director Zhang nodded slightly to himself.

  He understood what was going on in his heart.

   Pulled himself together and sat up straight.

   "That's right...it's not bad, the progress is good, and it's coming soon. I'm going to put on those big shields tonight, and I'm busy there. I guess...in a week or so, the shooting of this scene is almost done."

   "...Well, I know. Don't worry, the progress will not be delayed."

   "Okay, let's just say that, I'm still in a meeting here."

"Um."

  The phone hung up, and Zhang Yimou didn't mention anything, but suddenly said something out of nowhere:

"Xiao Xu, when I bring back the clothes today, I can use the scene you redesigned. You can take Zhang Jiao together to find the light at night, take a look, and take a sample for me to find out how you feel. If it's good... You will make up the last shot."

   "!"

  Xu Xin instantly sat up straighter:

"real?!"

   "Well. Just take it as a practice hand, and then shoot it to see the effect. If it doesn't work, use the one I took before."

   "..."

  For some reason, Xu Xin wanted to tremble...

  At this time, Ma Wen said:

   "Look at scaring the kids..."

   "...ha~"

  Zhang Yimou chuckled lightly.

  Xu Xin was helpless, looking at Ma Wen:

   "Director Ma..."

"what?"

   "Repay me with your signature!"

   "I think beautiful~"

   Ma Wen rolled her eyes.

  …

  To be honest, Xu Xin never dreamed that Director Zhang would actually let him be the mirror...

  Even if it’s just replacement and test shooting.

  But for a new director, this means too much.

think about it…

  While countless new directors are still scratching their heads for the composition, color correction, and setting of the first work, he already has the opportunity to be the sole director of a big production with hundreds of millions of dollars...

  Even if it’s a test shoot... but it’s enough to make people proud when they say it.

  So, throughout the whole day, Xu Xin's heart was filled with excitement.

  In the afternoon, he even rushed to the set in advance.

   I plan to re-step on the spot first to see if I can have any ideas or inspirations.

   And just arrived at the set, he received a text message from his girlfriend:

   "I'm done!"

  …

  The crew of "Sculpture of God".

  Exterior.

  Two blowers are blowing soft wind, driving the flower petals artificially sprinkled from the crane to fly in the sky.

  In the close-up shot, the girl took a few steps with her back to the camera, and then suddenly turned around.

  Petals are flying around her.

   Turning around, a reflected light appeared in her eyes:

   "Go to Xiangyang in the future!"

  Looking at the camera, she has a lively and innocent smile on her face:

   "Remember to come to me! My name is Guo Xiang!"

  After the lines were read, she paused for a moment, then suddenly jumped up, waving at the camera:

   "Xiangyang of Xiangyang!"

  Then, the girl's smile merged with the flying petals.

   It was frozen in the frame of the camera.

   "OK! Passed!"

   Yu Xi in front of the camera nodded.

Then…

  Wang Haihu took the lead and applauded:

   "Papa..."

   "Mimi, congratulations on finishing."

  Following his words, everyone was bewildered, and then sparse applause broke out.

  After hearing this, the innocent smile on the girl's face gradually turned into gratitude.

   Bow to everyone:

   "Thank you everyone, thank you teachers for your help, guidance, thank you director..."

   She began to say thanks.

  The smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

  …

   "I'm done!"

   After sending a message to her boyfriend, she put down her phone, and then walked directly to Liu Yifei and Huang Xiaoming next to her:

   "Hey, it's finally finished~"

"congratulations."

   Huang Xiaoming, who still has to stay on the set for a while, smiled all over his eyes, congratulating himself as a junior sister.

   And so is Liu Yifei.

  It's just... her eyes dodge a little.

   It seems that the brighter the girl's smile, the more guilty she is.

  At this time, Huang Xiaoming asked:

   "Are you going there?"

   "Oh yes yes yes..."

  The girl nodded quickly as if bewildered:

   "Brother, if you don't remind me, I'll forget about it. I have to go over there quickly...I'm going to remove my makeup first, see you later."

   "Well, let's go."

  Liu Yifei didn't speak, but Huang Xiaoming responded.

  Yang Mi walked away quickly, ending the pleasantries after the filming, but the crew still had to operate as usual, and the staff were preparing for the next shot.

  After Yang Mi entered the room, Huang Xiaoming turned to look at Liu Yifei:

   "Then shall we go tomorrow?"

"…good."

  Liu Yifei nodded, first turned her head and glanced at her mother who was sitting on a chair, holding a phone and seemed to be communicating with someone.

   Then turned around:

   "Then...tomorrow night? It seems that our play will end in the afternoon tomorrow."

   "Okay. Director Zhang has been shooting night scenes for the past few days."

  After hearing Huang Xiaoming's words, Liu Yifei subconsciously asked:

"How did you know?"

"Well…"

  Huang Xiaoming was taken aback for a moment...then perfunctory:

   "I heard."

  …

   "Finished?"

   "Yes, I'm removing makeup."

   "Okay. Will you come to the crew later?"

"come."

   "Well, then I'll wait for you, I'm already here."

   "Okay~ hehehe~ I'm so happy! Let's take off my makeup."

   Seeing this message, Xu Xin didn't reply.

   Instead, he came directly to those court ladies.

  Now the scenes of "Golden Armor", the scene of welcoming the emperor home at the beginning of the plot, and the scene of the maid getting up in the morning to get dressed have all been filmed.

  So the demand for court ladies is not that great.

   It's a pity that I will never see that big wave of zombies attacking again...

   While thinking, he waved to Zhang Jiao and Zhao Liying who had already stood up, and then walked into the palace without looking back.

  The two quickly followed along.

  From the main hall on the side of the Chrysanthemum Terrace to the side hall where the interior scenes were filmed, and all the way to the Queen's room, Xu Xin handed the script in front of the two of them.

Then…

  The two of them were dumbfounded...

   "Xu...Xu...Xu...Director Xu...?!"

   Zhao Liying was the first to react.

   She took the script tremblingly, her eyes full of ecstasy beyond belief.

  Xu Xin knew it at a glance...

  This girl thinks wrong.

  So he shook his head directly:

   "Don't get excited, it's not a line for you."

   "..."

   At a speed visible to the naked eye, Zhao Liying languished again.

  Maybe because of his good mood, Xu Xin laughed out loud when he saw the girl's face full of joy and anger.

   "Ha~ Your face-changing speed is really fast..."

"ah?"

  Zhao Liying was taken aback for a moment, but immediately realized something, and quickly shook her head:

   "No, no, Director Xu, I didn't mean that..."

"Ok, I know."

  Don't mind what she thinks, Xu Xin said directly:

   "The reason why I came to you two is very simple. You two will have to check your lines in a while. Then I will find inspiration... You two will turn to the twenty-eighth act first."

  Following Xu Xin's words, the two quickly turned to the page that said "Scene Twenty-Eight".

   I heard Xu Xin continue to say:

"Zhang Jiao, you are the queen, Zhao Liying, you are the prince Jie. In principle, you are just substitutes, but there is no camera at the moment. I mainly want to see if there are other angles to shoot. So you two in a while It doesn’t matter if you want to show off your acting skills, or whatever you want to do. Just get the lines right, don’t worry about me...or both of you can express your own ideas, understand?”

  Zhao Liying was still reading the lines, but Zhang Jiao took the lead in agreeing for the sake of her friend "too many words will make mistakes":

"OK."

   "Well, let's get started."

  Following Xu Xin's words, he has already stood where the camera stood during the previous shooting.

   And in these two scenes, the two of them were also among those court ladies, so they probably knew how they moved.

  As Xu Xin stood still, Zhang Jiao naturally sat on the bed, facing Xu Xin sideways. Zhao Liying stood opposite Zhang Jiao.

  Although it was not a real performance, it was obvious that Zhao Liying was very nervous.

  Hands holding the script are trembling.

   Tremblingly glanced at the lines, took a few steps back, and went to the one-knee wardrobe on the floor:

   "The son and minister pay homage to the queen mother."

  After speaking, she instinctively wanted to look at Xu Xin.

   But dare not...

  At this time, Zhang Jiao also got out of bed, got up and helped her up:

   "Yuan Jie!"

  The two got up, Zhang Jiao held Zhao Liying's arm in one hand, and the script book in the other. The same is true for Zhao Liying. After looking down at the script quickly, she said:

   "I haven't seen my mother for three years, how is my mother?"

  Zhang Jiao is a little stuck.

  Because the script said, "The Queen looks excited, her eyes are slightly red: I'm fine, how about you?" But if she remembers correctly, Teacher Gong Li hugged Prince Jie at that time.

  Myself...do you want to hug?

  Then how should I express this excited look and slightly red eyes?

  She was suddenly dumbfounded.

   And Zhao Liying saw her friend not moving for a long time, so she hurriedly urged in a low voice:

   "Hold me!"

   Zhang Jiao came back to her senses, and subconsciously hugged her.

   It's not a hug, but it's like a bird clinging to someone's arms...

   The taste is not right at once.

   Zhao Liying can't fix it...

   But the problem is that Xu Xin doesn't say a word at this moment, and Zhang Jiao doesn't know whether she should hug her again...but this time shows the importance of experience.

  Zhao Liying immediately hugged Zhang Jiao as soon as she sensed something was wrong.

  The position of the two is that Zhang Jiao is in her arms, and she is embracing Zhang Jiao. Divided by men and women, Zhang Jiao is a woman, and Zhao Liying is a man.

   Xu Xin frowned after capturing this imagery.

   Men and women?

  Yuan Jie...and the Queen...

  Protect and be protected?

  The mother, who was supposed to protect the child with maternal love, was helpless at this moment.

  And the son who has grown up... Can he protect his mother from wind and rain?

   What if this lens language is used?

  Whether the queen is strong or aggressive, it is all for other people. But for her beloved son, will she show the weakness of a woman?

  What about the greatness of being a mother?

   Will it be weakened?

  When the rebellion happened later, would the audience feel like "the queen forced Prince Jie" to do it?

   This will indeed make Prince Jie very sad.

   But the role of queen is a bit untenable. It will appear to be upright...

  Thinking of this, he shook his head with a little regret.

no.

   Here, the queen has to dominate.

  Thinking of this, he saw that the two were still hugging each other, and urged:

   "Keep going, don't stop. It's acting class for you two, just let it go."

   So, the show continued.

   But three people are actually three ideas.

  Xu Xin was thinking about how the scene should be arranged, what the shooting angle was, and what was going on in the hearts of the Queen and Prince Jie.

  So he doesn't care how well these two perform.

   Just need to allow yourself to be able to substitute into this story.

  As for Zhang Jiao, she felt a little...frustrated.

   These days, in the crew of "Golden Armor", she watched Zhou Renfa, Gong Li, Ni Dahong or Chen Jin acting... she didn't feel anything.

  Maybe she hasn’t gotten used to it yet, she always feels that filming is just a joke.

   It doesn't have that feeling in the movie.

  Mingming said vicious words... But when she saw the staff around her, she felt very strange. And... I can't tell the difference between good acting and bad acting.

  It feels like...it's just a natural line or something.

   makes no difference.

  So, once in a trance, she had the illusion of "So this is acting, it's very simple".

   Commonly known as I can do it.

  Including watching Jay Chou filming the fight scene, which was stuck for almost ten days, and when the group portrait actors made mistakes... She has always been very puzzled.

   Isn't this very simple? Move according to the director's instructions, do the action...isn't it over? Why is it so difficult?

  Including when doing light replacement, she sat there, waiting for others to adjust the light... Then she saw Teacher Gong Li sitting in the position where she "sat" and performed with the same light as herself...

   Aren't these very simple?

  Why is it so difficult?

  She was puzzled.

  But... just today, when Director Xu called...

   Even if it's just repeating a scene she's seen before...

  Even if Director Xu didn't ask for any acting skills...

  Even so, she doesn’t even need to memorize the lines, she just needs to read it out from a notebook and make a good expression...

It's that simple.

   It’s just something that I thought was extremely simple before, but as soon as I got started, I suddenly got stuck...

  She felt that she shouldn't have played like this.

  However...the things I think in my mind can't be done by myself.

  Things that I think are very simple, but keep making mistakes...

  Suddenly, a sense of frustration made her feel a little uncomfortable, as if something was blocked in her heart.

feeling bad.

  So, whether her expression is good or her lines...

   It became more and more unnatural.

but…

  As the person playing the opposite role, Zhao Liying didn't notice.

  She was actually shaking too.

   But not scared, but excited...

   That's how it feels!

   That's how it feels! !

   She screamed in her heart.

   There are lines, there are characters... even the main character!

  I'm speaking lines, I'm showing my acting skills, I'm filming...

  As long as I can succeed and become a big star, I can make a lot of money! !

  It turned out that this is the feeling of being a star...being the protagonist! !

   Obviously there is no camera, and there are no crew members around... But at this moment, she seems to be standing in the center of the world.

  Among all the eyes, she showed off her feathers without hesitation...

   Immersed in the fantasy of releasing self-worth...

   Can't extricate myself.

  Three people, three ideas.

   vary.

   And what it's like... I'm afraid I'm the only one who knows.

  So...

   Zhang Jiao, who was acting in pieces in a scene, and Zhao Liying, who was immersed in self-fantasy, could not extricate themselves. After this scene was played, they subconsciously turned their attention to Xu Xin.

  Xu Xin didn't say a word.

   Just keep thinking about it.

  Through the composition, shooting angle, etc. in my mind over and over again.

   After about a minute or two, he took out a cigarette from his pocket.

   After taking a few steps back, he sat directly on a box used to assemble props for the show.

  Smoke curled up.

  After thinking about it, he said:

   "Do it again."

  Hearing this, Zhang Jiao was relieved.

  Because she felt that what she did just now was too bad, the kind that was so bad.

   Now I have another chance...

   But before it was too late to rejoice, suddenly, she heard a sentence...

  The question is from a friend.

  The tone is full of expectation and curiosity:

   "Director, can I perform well?"

   "..."

   Zhang Jiao instinctively twitched the corner of her mouth, and looked at her friend with shining eyes...

  Big...big sister...

Are you crazy?

you still need to ask?

   The plot of "Golden Armor" has entered the final stage, and the foreshadowing is enough. Dear readers, some people have been urging or impatient these days. I would like to apologize here first, because I feel impatient, maybe because he didn't like to read what I wrote, or because I didn't feel refreshed in my heart... But I still have my own rhythm in this book, from establishing the relationship between the hero and the heroine, to The characters that lead to the next plot, etc., I have expressed everything that should be written.

  I also believe that I can arrange the plots one by one, so please rest assured. Some readers have said that the essence of entertainment writing is invincible writing. I agree very much, but what I want to write is not the kind of invincible text that everyone gets tired of with hundreds of thousands of words, but the kind that everyone can still read with 400 or 5 million words. So I will follow my own pace. I am an old author, and entertainment is also my housekeeping skill. Please rest assured.

  Finally, this chapter is a bit late, just finished, please don’t mind. It's the end of the month, please look at my dedication to update this month, it shouldn't be too much to ask for a monthly ticket~~

  (end of this chapter)
