I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

   Chapter 453 451. Xiaoyuaner (32)

   April 10th, Chikan.

   "Mom is going to film, you two must be obedient, okay? Wait for mom to come back and bring you delicious food."

  At the gate of the yard she rented, she smiled and kissed each other. Under the child's blank eyes, she nodded to her parents, took Sun Ting out together, and got into Cheng Hu's car.

  Today is the opening day of "The Grandmaster".

  Starting today, the crew will officially start filming.

   Naturally, she didn't dare to delay, no matter how well prepared she was, she really had to start filming... She had heard about how tortured actors were in Director Wang's scenes.

  Although it is not clear how exaggerated the rumors are, or if they are just trivial, but it is definitely true to be fully prepared.

  The biggest advantage of having two children is that they haven't shown so much separation anxiety for the time being.

  It may be because I have been with my grandparents since I was a child. Grandma, grandpa, father, and mother, choose two out of four.

  With two people present, there won't be too much crying.

   It's just a pity.

  Because she was worried about Niu Niu, Yang Mi didn’t choose to bring the two dogs out this time, but threw Zai Zai and Niu Niu at Brother Qian’er’s zoo.

  Puppy was born two days ago. Niuniu, who became a mother for the first time, gave birth to four puppies, which are tentatively named: the first day, the second day, the third day, and the fourth day.

  If Zaizai and Niuniu are around, it is obviously easier to bring up a baby.

  As long as you watch the two babies and don't compete with them in the first grade of junior high school, it doesn't matter.

  In the car, she looked at the diary that had been returned to the original owner, and the script book that Xu Haofeng gave.

   Yes, the script book.

   Not a screenplay.

  Compared to Xu Haofeng's version of the story, which is different from the traditional script that explains the time, place, environment, and character dialogue in a smooth manner, the stories received by the actors only have lines.

  Everything was deleted by Wang Jiawei.

   In Yang Mi's opinion, this is outrageous.

  Although she has also heard of it, Director Wang likes to bring a piece of paper when filming, and the rest is all based on his brain...

   Even in the face of media interviews, he said very "dominantly": "It's not that I don't use the script, it's that I am the script." Such nonsense words...

  But the problem is... Brother, you are the director.

  伱 What do we actors do?

   Just a paragraph, if I hadn’t read my brother’s script in advance, I might not even know what you want me to do.

   It's really outrageous.

but…

   Outrageous is outrageous, but she is in a good mood.

   And there is a mood that is eager to try.

  Each director has his own different style, and she also wants to see what kind of virtue Director Wang's play style is.

  So, I calmed down and closed the script.

   She closed her eyes in the car.

  There is only the sound of the engine in the whole car, nothing else.

   After the car stopped at the place, she opened her eyes again.

  But as soon as she got out of the car, the crew gave her a slap in the face.

   "The crew of "Happy...Happy Era"?"

  Yang Mi looked left and right, dumbfounded.

   Immediately, he looked back at Sun Ting and Cheng Hu.

  Although he didn't speak, there was one meaning in his eyes:

   "Where did you two send me?"

  Sun Ting was also dumbfounded.

   Cheng Hu was even more speechless.

   Hurry up and go back to the car to check the navigation...

   Sun Ting looked into the distance:

   "Sister... That's right, it's the filming location of "The Grandmaster". Look, isn't that the studio of Jinlou?"

  Yang Mi also turned her head...and found that indeed, there was a studio.

Can…

   "What is Happy Era?"

  She was at a loss when suddenly a cameraman from the crew came over:

   "Hey, Miss Mimi."

  Yang Mi turned her head and found that it was the photography assistant Yang Dejun.

   Having been together for so many days, she can also call out the names of some people in the crew, so she took the initiative to ask:

   "Morning, Ayang...what's the situation?"

  Pointing to the sign of "Happy Era", Yang Mi asked puzzledly.

  Yang Dejun was not surprised when he saw this, and said with a smile:

   "This is a stand-in."

   "...What ability, JOJO?"

   "...???"

  Yang Dejun looked puzzled.

  What is Miss Mimi talking about?

  But he didn't get entangled, and explained directly:

   "The director was afraid that the paparazzi would come and take pictures of our filming process, so he specially deployed a group of people to act as stand-ins. In this way, when the paparazzi came in and saw the name of the crew, they would know that they had found the wrong one..."

   "..."

  Yang Mi was speechless for a moment.

  Let’s not talk about whether you are wasting money or not. Wouldn’t it be good for you to think about the script more if you have this ability?

   Shaking her head helplessly, she said:

   "Then let's go, where is the opening ceremony?"

   "Here, I'm here to find you."

  Yang Dejun took the two of them directly to the set of "Happy Times".

   All the way, with a group of people pretending to look like something serious, they walked to the yard of Ip Man's house built by the crew.

   There is already a group of people standing there.

  The main characters and supporting roles are all there.

  The camera is also covered with a red cloth, and all kinds of tributes are available.

  As for Director Wang, he stood at the front.

   But the ceremony hasn't started yet, and he's reading it with a piece of paper in his hand.

"…sister."

"what?"

   "That piece of paper..."

  Sun Ting whispered quietly:

   "Could it be the content to be filmed today?"

   "..."

  Yang Mi has an emotion in her eyes:

"are you crazy?"

  She is insane, and she doesn't think that a piece of paper can make a movie.

  So wave your hands:

   "You think too much, how can it be possible. How can you be so nonsense in filming..."

   Then she was slapped in the face by the speed of light.

  Compared to the mainland... how should I put it, after the opening ceremony with a lot of superstitions, the crew quickly prepared for the first scene.

  The words sent to the actors in the first scene are as follows:

   "Miya Haneda: In the game at night, follow the rules in the north. The winning side will treat you! Ye Wen will not be there, and I will not be there either. You will go on my behalf.

  Gong Er: Don't worry, the Gong family has done their work, and they haven't shamed anyone.

  Miyahaneda: Go.

  Bystanders: Go.

   Get in the car and leave. "

  There are lines.

   But nothing else.

   But it's nothing to Yang Mi.

   This passage should be about the fact that after Ye Wen won the martial arts competition with Gong Yutian, Gong Er appeared on the stage.

   She understands the causal relationship before and after.

  After getting the scene to be filmed, I went directly to apply makeup.

  But when the makeup was on, she realized...the crew was actually splashing buckets of water on the bluestone road.

  The piece of paper in Wang Jiawei's hand had somehow been folded into a note.

  Holding this note, he is communicating with the crew.

  Could it be...that thing is really the script of the director?

  What about the shot book?

  What about the shooting plan?

   Seeing that she was used to her brother's methodical and neat shooting method, and seeing Director Wang dangling there with a note, she suddenly felt a little stomachache.

  But... the filming of the scene has not started after all, and she will not question anything.

   He could only contain his doubts in his stomach, and walked to Wang Qingxiang who had also finished his makeup.

  Wang Qingxiang is an old drama player, and his acting skills are three points.

   is Miya Haneda's actor this time.

   Moreover, the two are not without intersection.

  As early as the filming of "Golden Armor" was finished, when she was rehearsing the play "Yanjing People" in Renyi, the performance venue was in Beizhan.

  At that time, they were taking over the stage play of "Dream of Red Mansions".

  Wang Qingxiang played the role of old Jia Baoyu in the stage play "Dream of Red Mansions" at that time.

   left a deep impression on her.

   One side is Renyi, and the other is the Navy Art Troupe. When rehearsing, each takes up half of the time. After the actors leave the stage, because they are all insiders, they get together to chat.

  She met Wang Qingxiang at that time.

   But it is limited to acquaintance, the relationship cannot be said to be familiar.

  But it doesn't prevent her from saying hello now:

   "Hey, Mr. Wang, do you still remember me?"

   "Haha, Xiao Yuaner."

  Hearing Yang Mi's words, Wang Qingxiang was also happy, and called out a name that was very unfamiliar to others.

  Yuan Yuan.

  In the drama "People of Yanjing", the only daughter of Yuan Rengan, an "anthropology" scholar, is sixteen years old, innocent and straightforward, and her biggest wish is to marry a girl from Yanjing.

   is the role she played in the drama "Yanjing People" back then.

  Hearing this, Yang Mi became even happier:

   "Hey, I thought you forgot."

   "Hey~"

  Wang Qingxiang waved his hand:

   "My memory is not that bad. How could such a beautiful Xiaoyuan forget."

   Speaking of this, he sighed with emotion:

"But... well, time is so fast. The little girl with braids is now married. Are the two babies in your family okay? When I came yesterday, I heard that you picked up the children coming?"

   "It's all good, but I'm going to start work today, so I didn't bring it."

  Hearing this, Wang Qingxiang showed a trace of pity on his face.

   "That's a pity... I still want to see it. People like these little dolls when they get old. My grandson is now in the rebellious period, but he is getting less and less cute..."

look.

   People who become grandpas are different after all.

   In a few words, they chatted about the child.

  A grandfather and a mother.

  The two chatted for a while about the topic of children before starting to match words.

  Frankly speaking, the rhythm of Wang Jiawei's crew is quite slow.

  Besides, unlike my elder brother who thought out how to shoot the day before and carefully arranged everything, Wang Jiawei's scenes were adjusted on the spot.

  It’s like splashing water. For example, after splashing water, the lighting is somewhat reflective, and the crew has to use a broom to sweep away the water, leaving only wet traces.

   Everything, in Yang Mi's opinion, is very slow.

   Not even professional.

  But this director was so "unprofessional" that he won awards at home and abroad.

   is outrageous.

"Mr. Wang, in this scene, Gong Yutian, who you played, competed with Ye Wen for ideas, and in order to help his younger generation become famous, he gave him a great reputation. Before you left the Golden Tower, you asked me to come to Ye Wen's meeting at night. This play."

  Hearing Yang Mi's words, Wang Qingxiang nodded:

"That said, the so-called winners don't show up, and the losers don't show up but send representatives. It probably means...the loser doesn't treat guests because he is afraid that the winners will think it's a grand banquet, right? Not to go, but sent someone close to him. Everyone kept the other party in check?"

   "Yes, yes, that's what it means."

   "Then I'll play it safe... Does the character Gong Er feel frizzy?"

   "Frizzy?"

   "Yes, the little girl Jiajia, seeing that Daddy lost, shouldn't she be convinced?"

   "Well... not just dissatisfaction, but also... anger. But this anger, as the eldest lady of the palace family, I think I have to bear it... at least not let you find out. Do you think it is right?"

"That makes sense. But... I also have to give you something back. I can definitely see your anger if I know your daughter Mo Ruofu. But... a young girl, since she knows how to endure for the palace family, it means that the father must also know about you Therefore, the emotional progress here should be more exposed...I will first use scrutiny, and then express a reassuring look at the end, what do you think?"

"Okay, then my feedback to you is... when I said the phrase "the palace family does business, I have never lost anyone", I expressed the feeling of...knowing the general situation. But being stared at by you in front of me, I should express Showing some unwillingness and... guilty conscience? What do you think of guilty conscience?"

   "Afraid I'll see it?"

   "Yes, I am afraid that you will see my anger."

   "...well, makes sense."

  The two of them studied this passage as if no one else was there.

  No way, because the information provided is too little. Secondly, Yang Mi is actually quite cautious.

  This is no cat or dog.

  Although the actor's acting skills don't mean that the older he gets, the better he gets, but this actor's acting skills are indeed not something that can be fooled casually.

  Her palace two was designed by her in a year.

   You must show your personality to anyone you meet. Otherwise, I will be sorry for the effort I put in.

   Soon, the scene on Wang Jiawei's side was set up.

  Send someone over to inform the two of them.

   Next, there are some costumes of the Republic of China, which are also dressed in costumes of the Republic of China, ready to be put in place.

   "Look, this is the feeling I want."

  Wang Jiawei came over and handed the note to Yang Mi.

   After Yang Mi took it, she watched it with Wang Qingxiang.

  The content is very simple:

   "The dialogue between Miyaji and Miyahaneda should show their respective bearings."

   Just this sentence.

  In all honesty, Yang Mi and Wang Qingxiang's "bet" was a hit.

  The thing to be expressed here can be said to be exactly the same as when the two of them were talking to each other.

  It's normal to think about it, after all, this script has a lot to do with me, and secondly, the senior brother gave her all the scripts.

  But the problem is...

  Brother, can we...be more serious?

   Seeing this line of words, Yang Mi wanted to complain.

  Wang Qingxiang was actually quite surprised...

  But he didn't say much, just asked:

   "Where is our position, director, how do we stand?"

   "Face to face."

   After Wang Jiawei finished speaking, he pointed to two positions in the middle of the venue:

   "Actors, cameras to set up."

   Taking the note away, he sat directly in front of the monitor beside him.

  Yang Mi muttered in a low voice:

   "It's like playing house."

  Her voice is not loud.

  But Wang Qingxiang could hear it.

   So, he was happy.

  Well, after all, I am still young and have seen few things.

   In the future, I will meet more directors and crews, and see more strange people... These things are not surprising.

   Next, the two stood in place and began to wait.

   And the surrounding crew members also gathered around.

   After all, this is the first scene, and everyone wants to see the interpretation of the two.

  The actors and crew members stood aside, looking at the two people who were frozen in the field... Most of the men's eyes were focused on Yang Mi.

  No way, who made her beautiful.

   Moreover, such a beautiful girl is still a young woman.

   It would be a lie to say that it is not attractive.

  At this moment, Yang Mi kept taking deep breaths.

   Let your mind go completely empty.

  Gong Er's template was taken off the shelf in her heart by her, and pressed into the player in her brain.

   It takes a few breaths.

  Everything in Gong Er has been filled in this body.

  Wang Qingxiang suddenly noticed that the temperament of the "girl" in front of him had changed.

   became a little sharper.

   is like a knife...

  Although it didn't stand in front of him, it was just held in front of him with the scabbard, but there was still a sense of sharpness reverberating.

   "Okay, ready to start shooting."

  A hint from the assistant director came from the crowd.

  The two stood facing each other, surrounded by some standing stills.

  A camera was aimed at Wang Qingxiang.

   "Three, two, one, ACTION!"

   Following this sound, Wang Qingxiang's energetic voice sounded.

  Miya Haneda stared at his daughter, and said word by word:

   "In the evening game, according to the northern rules, the winning side will treat the guests."

   Speaking of this, there was a slight setback in his tone.

   At the same time, the eyes staring at Yang Mi turned into looking up and down.

   While looking at it, he said:

   "Ip Man wasn't there, and I wasn't there either."

   After finishing speaking, his eyes froze again:

   "You go on my behalf."

  His words were light and light, but after the words fell, Yang Mi's voice sounded as if it was half a beat behind:

   "..."

"do not worry."

  The tone of "Don't worry" is quite soft, which makes some people who cannot see the expression with their backs to Yang Mi have an image of a gentle woman in their hearts.

  But it was overthrown immediately.

  When a word of pride and confidence came out, Gong Er's image began to change quietly:

   "The palace family is doing business..."

   Another insignificant pause, and then it sounded:

   "I haven't lost anyone!"

   Then, after Gong Er finished speaking, Gong Haneda still stared at his daughter with that gaze.

   After watching for less than half a second, his eyes changed quietly.

  From that scrutinizing gaze, it became a peaceful one.

   Not a smile, nor anything else.

  He gave Ye Wen his fame, and there were other people in front of him, so naturally he would not show any joy.

  And he didn't say anything about his daughter's words.

   It's like everything should be taken for granted.

  All the reassurance has been turned into a matter of course that "my daughter should be like this".

  So, without even nodding, he just looked around.

   reminded the group that he was about to issue an order.

   One eye on the left, one eye on the right.

   Read it.

"Walk."

   After finishing speaking, he turned around and got into the carriage.

  In this scene, his close-up picture ends.

   Seeing that the director didn't stop, the crew quickly changed the camera positions without stopping.

  Wang Qingxiang who got into the carriage also stood up again.

  Although I don’t know why the director didn’t use dual cameras to record the scenes of natural dialogue, but since they all chose to do so, then this scene has to be shot twice.

   It's his expression again.

  One time belongs to Yang Mi.

   As far as it is concerned, Wang Jiawei didn't stop his play, which seems to be qualified.

  Next…

  It's Yang Mi's turn to express her emotions just now through her lines... to perform on stage!
