I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

  Chapter 238 236. A rare chicken in life

  In fact, many things require an immersive environment.

  For example, in the early years, there was such a WEB chat room called "Jianghu".

   What is used is some text data and an illusory martial arts world composed of FLASH animation.

  In this world, someone became a hero and entered the six doors.

  Someone has become a gangster, playing a chivalrous role.

  Some people are keen on fishing to make money, while others are keen on killing innocent people.

  At that time, this kind of Internet chat room forum was very popular. Everyone obviously used the most advanced computer network in the world today, but they played with golden swords, silver swords, and passionate illusory Jianghu.

  Even the people inside speak politely, and people from different sects on both sides have conflicts, and they will call friends and friends to get together for private chats.

   Finally, we will see whether to turn hostility into friendship, or to attack in groups.

  It was obviously just a paragraph of text description, but there was a **** storm in every player's mind...

   This thing was very popular back then, but when I talk about it now, I always feel that I am too naive.

   But people at the time would not have such an idea.

  Those who come here for fame will naturally immerse themselves in this fictional world after they join the rivers and lakes, as if they have really become a member of it.

   This is called immersion.

  As far as Liu Zhishi is concerned, today's reading session is actually very fresh.

  She is not a professional graduate. She graduated from Beijing Dance Academy and has never experienced this kind of experience...opening a story through language and swimming in the story.

  This reading session was very new to her.

   But what is more fresh is that she suddenly saw a completely different way of contacting actors and actors.

  It turns out that just speaking lines can also allow actors and actors to achieve a channel of spiritual communication.

  Even so, she was asked by Director Xu to speak straightforwardly.

   But when it comes to emotion, she still finds that she will unconsciously overlap with the characters in the script.

  As if she really slapped Gu Xiaomeng.

  As if I really saw the girl who I regarded as my sister crying in front of me.

   It feels... weird.

  When she was taking an acting training class, although she was also with some artists in the company.

   There are probably seven or eight of them.

  The teacher will also ask them to interact, for example, to create a play for interpretation.

  But... She has never experienced such a pure performance.

   Not once.

  The actors in the company are always fighting for each other.

  Because the performance teacher will also conduct an evaluation of their roles and report to the company, and finally some resources will be transferred through personal performance.

  By excellent people.

   So, there's a lot of competition there.

   Full of all kinds of small thoughts.

  Even if it was just a performance in the course, everyone was determined to win or lose, restless about their respective roles, and wanted to "explode" each other with acting skills.

   To get more attention.

  Adding... She was recruited by the company based on Liu Yifei as the prototype.

  She was born to be able to enjoy the resources of Liu Yifei's genre films.

   When facing other people's competition, she is actually quite Buddhist.

  Because she doesn't have to fight, she will have it.

  But I don't like the kind of... inexplicable desire to win when others burn in front of me.

  She understands, understands that others want to stand out. I also understand why others are jealous of me being so "lucky"...

  But putting these aside, her knowledge of acting skills is really superficial.

  Everyone is fighting.

  Everyone is rushing.

  Even if I don't want to fight, the company will win over and arrange for me.

  When I get something that others dream of, I will encounter criticism from others in private.

  Tangren is not a pure land.

  Everyone wants to be a fool and Liu Yifei.

  How could it be a pure land?

  So...sometimes she even doubts herself, why did she go to see the excitement in the first place, and was discovered by President Cai.

  If I don’t find out… Maybe I have started to be a dance teacher now, and then teach those cute children to dance, right?

   is quite strange.

  As for acting... I can't say whether I like it or not, but fame is what she longs for.

   I just don't want to compete with others.

   After getting it, I feel uncomfortable being criticized by others.

  She's... quite twisted.

until today.

She suddenly felt a feeling from Mimi, the cross talk actor Mr. Yu Ke, Director Xu... and a few other "laymen"... There is no need to hold back the shame and make some empty imitation performances during the audition . There is no need to consider what others think of you, evaluate yourself, or criticize your purity.

   Everyone is pure.

  Even Teacher Lang Lang, even these assistants.

  Maybe it's because they are engaged in this field, but they are not professional.

  When they see others recite lines with emotion, they will cooperate and wait. Instead of looking at yourself with the eyes of "actors seem so shameful", "this is your job?", "Why is this, don't you feel embarrassed?"

   Make her feel comfortable.

  Everyone holds the script and gathers together, trying to figure out the character of the characters, and come to talk.

  Even for the three assistants, compared to the jerky tone in the morning, the role interpretation after lunch at noon is much more natural.

   No comparison, no competition.

  Everyone is serving the script and the director.

  Play your best level to interpret the role in front of you.

  According to Director Xu's chat during dinner, how did you say that?

  Script kill? Immersive script kill?

   It seems to be this.

  Although he doesn't seem to know why he said the word "script killing".

   But he was right.

  This sense of immersion surrounding the script opened a new door for her.

  It turns out that not everyone is intrigue.

   Between actors and actors, it is also possible to communicate with "acting skills" in the true sense, and to build and support a world.

This feeling…

   So comfortable.

  Especially after seeing that Teacher Yu interpreted the role of "Jin Shenghuo" to vivid lines with a single mouth.

  Lines, acting skills, atmosphere, emotions... and under the self-portrait of himself sitting upright, director Xu said to himself the kind and appropriate communication reminders full of gentlemanly demeanor.

  The kind of considerate, meticulous care of the softness deep in the heart, but communicate and communicate from the perspective of a filmmaker...

  It's like a gentle wind.

   It blows to the bottom of my heart.

   It complements the tone of the entire reading session.

  She saw Li Ningyu.

   I saw Gu Xiaomeng.

   Saw Kim making a fire.

   I even saw "Wang Tianxiang", "Bai Xiaonian", "Wu Zhiguo" and "Wu Tian" who are still working hard...

  This script really makes people feel unusually comfortable...

   Or this kind of environment.

  She wasn't jealous that Mimi got a good chance, on the contrary, she had the idea of ​​being happy for her.

   It's weird.

  Obviously in the early days of "Sword and Sword III", she was still quite upset with Mimi.

  I feel that she is taking advantage of her fame to let her "Solanum nigrum" be exposed.

  But now we have become good friends...

  This environment...

  Carrying her bag on her back, she looked around at all the traces of life in the courtyard, with a rare sense of unfinished business.

   This kind of circle belonging to "filmmakers", she just discovered at this moment.

  After discovering it, I fell in love with it completely.

  So, she said something to Yang Mi who was next to her, which was easy to be misunderstood, and she misunderstood that she was utilitarian, but she didn't mix other inquiries at all:

   "Mimi, can I still come tomorrow?"

"…ah?"

  Yang Mi was indeed taken aback.

  My first reaction was...what is this person doing.

   What is the purpose.

   But after seeing Liu Zhishi's eyes, she suddenly denied this idea.

   Not right.

  Her eyes are bright.

   is spotlighting.

  As a working partner who started working together in "Sword and Sword III", Yang Mi is actually very aware of Liu Zhishi's shortcomings.

  She is nearsighted.

   There are fewer benevolence in white eyes, but more benevolence in black eyes.

  Because she couldn't see clearly, and because she was worried about her eyes being deformed, the company banned her from wearing colored contact lenses.

   This caused her to be unable to concentrate her energy through her eyes when she was acting.

  When performing, her eyes look dull and lifeless.

   Muran, dead silence.

   This is almost a fatal flaw.

  But now Liu Zhishi's eyes actually have a radiant light.

   It's like finding some kind of treasure worthy of shining eyes.

  That is not the look in the eyes of people with utilitarian thoughts.

  These eyes at this moment...

  Too simple.

   So... she likes this literary way?

  Like this atmosphere at home?

   So, she laughed.

   smiled and nodded:

   "Okay, come if you want... Just like him, he almost moved the piano to my house, and let me prepare a bedding."

  After Lang Lang heard this, he casually said:

"I finished talking to Lao Xu. The piano in your new home will be arranged in two days. Lun'er and I will have one. He wants Liszt. I'm Steinway. I have a bedroom in your house. Why can't I?" Come? By the way, remember to dry the bedding for me, I like the smell of sunshine."

   "..."

  Yang Mi's eyes twitched...

   Full of monogatari, he glanced at his fiancé behind who was communicating with Yu Qiang...

   "Create a crime..."

  Lang Lang also laughed:

   "What's the crime? I gave you a piano for free, don't you want it?"

   "Are you giving it away? You obviously have no place to store it! And... two? My house doesn't have such a big space!"

  Yang Mi started to roll her eyes.

  It seems that he doesn’t know that the friend in front of him just wants to play the piano... Let alone there is no place, countless piano brands are building high-rise buildings on the ground, and they will find the best place for him...

"Look, you are so dishonest. You are saying, I gave it away for nothing, Lun'er asked for Liszt by name, and Lao Xu bought it with his own money... He is much less authentic than me. Oh yes, Lao Wang Said that he wants a computer room, just put a few computers together to open the hacker...you don't know, do you?"

   "Crack!"

  Yang Mi started grinding her teeth when she heard this.

   Milky legs.

   Is this turning my house into an Internet cafe?

  Wait, Sun thief.

   Waiting for you to come back, you wait to use a rice bowl with the dog!

  I have already fantasized in my mind that when it is time to eat, I will knock on the rice bowl and make a sound of "lao la la la la" to call Wang Sicong who came out of the computer room to eat. Yang Mi gritted her teeth.

   But Yang Xiaomi is still kind.

   Even though he had decided to let him have a pot with the dog, he didn't go to cook him a meal.

  This heart is like a Bodhisattva.

   Save the suffering and save the trouble.

  …

   "Brother Qian'er, try it...I think it will work."

   "...I'm here to help you, why did you just take the script back?"

   "Try it, I think you can do the role of Jin Shenghuo. Give it a try, okay?"

   "Aren't you afraid of the audience acting in a show? People see it, yo, isn't this good? How come people who talk about cross talk come here to act in movies?"

   "As far as your level of lines is concerned, I'm not afraid."

   "Haha... Okay, okay, then I'll take it back and think about it. Give me a message when you audition."

   "Okay, you can take the book too."

   "Alright~"

  …

   After bidding farewell to the friends who came to help, Yang Mi's spirit was exhausted.

  The actor's state is also said to be energetic.

   I vented, and I want to pick it up, it takes a while to recover my strength.

  Sun Ting and Wu Qiqi also left.

   Go home and continue to rest.

  Zhang Jiao also left, taking Yang Mi's card to buy clothes.

   How to match it depends on her.

  Whether it is a big brand or a domestic product, as long as it can convey a style, she is not picky.

   Even Yang Dalin and his wife saw that their daughter was working and went back after cooking for her.

   Come back at night.

   Take care of my daughter and future son-in-law three meals a day comfortably.

  The two of them can finally be "waste" who don't work hard and don't distinguish grains.

  Crossing her legs on her boyfriend's lap, lying on the sofa with her eyes closed, Yang Mi said:

   "Is the poet good?"

"Um."

  Xu Xin responded:

   "Talented, but difficult to achieve. But what restricts her is not herself, but objective conditions. Acting classes are always inferior to schools. This is my unswerving point of view."

   "Tsk..."

  Yang Mi suddenly felt a little emotional:

"elder brother."

"Um?"

   "You haven't graduated yet, you speak like Director Zhang, and you are old-fashioned like our head teacher..."

   "Ha~"

  Xu Xin chuckled, moved her legs and stood up.

   "What are you doing, I'm feeling comfortable."

   The girl was a little dissatisfied.

   "Go to work, write down some inspiration for the shot, simulate it..."

   "Oh, then you go... If I have finished my lines, start the wooden man tomorrow?"

"Um."

   "..."

  Yang Mi stopped talking, changed her posture, and curled up on the sofa with a tired and peaceful smile.

  …

  The next day, Liu Zhishi arrived at Shijia Hutong on time.

   Still holding a copy of "The Wind" that I bought last night.

  She didn't mean anything else, and she didn't think about getting a character from it... There are no female characters in this script, just Li Ningyu and Gu Xiaomeng.

  Others... really gone.

  Oh yes, there is also a female killer at the beginning.

  So she doesn't have so much interest in mind.

  Because I like it, I love it, so I came here.

  But she didn't see Xu Xin.

  As soon as I asked Xu Xin why he was there, he realized that he was going to class.

  Her eyes were weird for a while...

   All right... go to class.

Then, when she took the book "The Sound of the Wind" she bought last night, and was going to help Mimi complete the preparations for the "Wooden Man", she saw Yang Mi, who had been motionless just now and seemed to be walking like a horse, picked up the book in the yard. A two-handed sword of...

  The style of painting suddenly went wrong.

   Obviously it was Gu Xiaomeng who visited yesterday.

   But today...

  My dear mother.

  When she saw the sword light waving and the water couldn't get in, Liu Zhishi's mouth widened in surprise.

  She knows that Mimi has roots.

   "Sword and Sword III" also has fighting scenes.

  When Mimi is shooting, her movements are always the most standard and complete.

  Even, occasionally, she saw Mimi and Wuzhi exchanging things, even gesticulating with each other.

  But she really didn't expect...

  The girl holding a two-handed sword in front of her...sinking her waist and twisting her horse, and waving the sword in her hand "swish, swish, swish" is the same Gu Xiaomeng who loved this hot land so deeply when she went from arrogance to the truth yesterday...

   It's just... outrageous!

  Then, when the sword was over, she swung the club again.

  After I finished swishing the stick, my head was covered with sweat.

   Then start punching...

Liu Zhishi just watched her foolishly watching her go from swish swish, to woo woo, to "Huh! Ha! Hey!" A certain direction was played like a butterfly flipping a flower... After a routine that seemed to be a palm technique, two bundles of yoga mats were brought out.

   "Come on, let's go together."

  Because of the heat, the girl who had already taken off her sun protection jacket and wore a headband on her head, using the yoga pants to show her figure to the fullest, hooked her hands.

meaning is…

   Yoga together.

  Liu Zhi poets are all stupid.

   "You... don't work on scripts?"

   "I'm doing it, but I have to do these exercises every day, and I have to finish them. They are all hard work~"

  Yang Mi shrugged, a python pose has been done.

   "..."

  Liu Zhishi was stunned for a moment, and asked:

   "Every day?"

"Um."

   "Then when I was filming Immortal Sword..."

   "Just get up earlier."

   "..."

  Finally, Liu Zhishi understood one thing.

   No wonder they can succeed.

   She deserves it.

real.

  Compared to her, I really...are nothing.

  So, she said again:

   "From now on, can I come to you every day..."

   "...?"

  Yang Mi, who was meditating, opened her eyes wonderingly, until she heard Liu Zhishi's exclamation:

   "A role model... Honey."

"Well…"

  …

  In the following time, Yang Mi and Liu Zhishi seemed to be one person.

   She really always comes.

   It's like Gu Xiaomeng and Li Ningyu are inseparable.

  Among the wooden figures, Li Ningyu is the only one who lives here.

  She and Yang Mi became "best friends", doing yoga and eating together every day, and even started learning kung fu from Yang Mi.

   is outrageous.

   But to be honest, Xu Xin was quite happy.

For so many years, the fiancée has never really had a particularly good friend, perhaps because of what she once said to herself, the experience of being backstabbed by a friend at the same table in high school, she has a feeling for same-sex friends... Very natural defense and resistance.

  This is why when she treats the same sex, she likes to observe, evaluate, and evaluate whether the person is smart, stupid, etc., and then decides what method to use to contact them.

   But Liu Zhishi is the first one to talk about a true bosom friend.

   And still speaking logically, the two have a direct resource conflict, and they are most unsuitable to meet in the "entertainment circle" who are looking for true friends.

   No matter how you look at it, it feels very unreliable.

  However, Yang Mi personally admitted to Xu Xin, treating her as a true friend.

  The kind that doesn't involve any profit.

  True, a rare chicken in life

  Xu Xin naturally didn't ask "What will you do if your resources conflict in the future?"

  He felt that it was unlikely for the time being.

  Although I don’t know whether Liu Zhishi will be popular in the future, but even if it is popular... want to catch up with Yang Mi who was smashed by "Wulin Biography", Mou Girl, and Qing Yiqiu?

   What's more, the fiancée is not stagnant.

  As a result, the relationship between Xu Xin and Liu Zhishi is also heating up.

  And his daily life is quite simple, attending classes, creating, communicating with Guo Zhengyi on the set, beating Yang Mi's acting skills... Occasionally, Liu Zhishi, who came to him to talk about some plans, gave a little advice from friends.

  For example, "Why don't you go to Beijing Film Academy as an auditor" and so on...

   It's not just repeating the same old tune, this is really the only opinion he can give.

  Because the deeper you touch something, the more you discover your ignorance.

  Some related professional works in Beiying Library, including some important papers, he intends to use two years to read as much as possible.

  The longer he stays at the school, the more awe builds up.

  Knowledge is an incomparable treasure at any time.

   So the opinion he gave was this.

   If you are not from a major, you should go to receive systematic training.

   Don't flaunt yourself as a maverick.

  There are not so many geniuses in this world.

   There are quite a few people who think they are geniuses.

  But whether Liu Zhishi will listen to this is not his consideration.

because…

  He's leaving.

  …

  October 28th.

  Xiying Studio No. 3 studio.

  The people around were quiet.

  Xu Xin, wearing earphones, looked at the staff member standing on the steps wearing a pair of leather shoes. He nodded:

   "Lights out."

  Hearing his words, the lights in the entire studio dimmed instantly, and there was darkness in sight.

   A few seconds later, the empty movement of leather shoes going upstairs echoed throughout the studio.

   "Boom, boom, boom, boom..."

  Listening to the empty sound of the leather shoes hitting the wooden floor, he didn't say until the staff was blacked out in the dim fluorescent light and walked upstairs twice:

   "Okay, turn on the light."

   "Crack."

   Power cycled.

  The sound of leather shoes hitting the wooden floor came in with the light, and it seemed to suddenly become much more sincere.

  Xu Xin nodded, and said to Guo Zhengyi next to him:

   "Director Guo, listen to it. It's much stronger than the creaking sound of the old wooden floor before. It's more spacious, but more appealing."

  Hearing this, Guo Zhengyi listened with headphones and nodded:

   "Well, Director Xu's opinion is correct. The sense of oppression is indeed much stronger than before. What about other aspects?"

   "Remember the guide."

  Xu Xin turned his head, facing another "average" middle-aged man next to him and said:

"I want a contrast of lighting. It is to always keep the place with lights bright, and the place without lights to be very dark and dark. The texture of the fog is the kind of... ah, the lights are on, Everyone will feel very comfortable. Because it lights up the surroundings, but there are still a lot of fog outside the light, and the fog represents the feeling of the unknown. The contrast must be strong, the warmer the light, the darker it is outside the light .”

   "Fear hides in the dark?"

  Hearing Ji Jianmin's words, Xu Xin clapped his hands:

   "Yes! That's how it feels."

  Ji Jianmin thought for a while and said:

   "Is this the whole tone?"

   "No, the light in the interrogation room, I want it to be very bright. That kind of yellow-white light. Highlights, the bottom is not closed, and the face has natural shadows. When the time comes, adjust it according to the facial features of the actors."

"good."

   Ji Jianmin agreed.

   Then Xu Xin looked at Guo Zhengyi again:

   "Director Guo, the rooms are arranged normally, with warm colors throughout, especially the rooms of Gu Xiaomeng and Li Ningyu, I want to be a little ambiguous."

"good."

   "Director Cao."

  Xu Xin looked at art designer Cao Jiuping again:

   "Make the blueprints of the costumes as soon as possible, and I will ask Yang Mi to come and try them out. Lighting and shadow processing, including other work, after the set is all over, we will meet again."

   "No problem...but..."

   Speaking of this, Cao Jiuping paused and said:

   "The role of Li Ningyu..."

   "..."

   "..."

  Guo Zhengyi and Ji Jianmin were a little surprised.

   But Xu Xin seemed to know what he was going to say, and said with a smile:

   "Don't worry about this, Director Cao. Isn't the leader waiting for me? I'll go over now. I will give you the size in a few days..."

   After finishing speaking, he nodded to the others:

   "Then let's say this first, everyone, the leader is still waiting for me, I will go to the office building first, thank you all."

  Nodding politely, Xu Xin quickly left the studio.

   Just as he was leaving, Guo Zhengyi glanced at Cao Jiuping and said in a low voice:

   "Why are you asking this? Did you hear any rumors? That Liang Bingning was rumored in the factory?"

  Cao Jiuping smiled wryly, but didn't answer.

  Obviously, it was difficult for him to answer this question.

  Then changed the subject:

   "What do you think of Director Xu this afternoon?"

   "..."

   "..."

  Guo Zhengyi glanced at Ji Jianmin.

  Ji Jianmin thought for a while and said:

"In terms of work experience... I can be worthy of the title of Chief Ouchi. Although it doesn't sound very nice, but the ability to arrange work is true... It's just that the style is a bit extreme, so I have to do it like a horror movie... This thing is filmed I have no idea what the effect will be when it comes out. But...it feels okay. How about you, Lao Guo?"

  The three of them are old friends, so there is no need to hide their words.

   After hearing this, Guo Zhengyi lowered his voice:

   "Yimou called me and asked me to show him the information. Then he said yes."

  Ji Jianmin was stunned for a moment, then laughed:

   "Ha~ He said yes, then he will do it."

   "Wait and see."

  Cao Jiuping shrugged, as if he knew more than others, a meaningful look flashed in his eyes.

   These things... if he can really play with them...

  Maybe, it really works.

after all…

   This is our home.
