I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 154 152. Blind, ignorant and incompatible

My girlfriend left, but the filming had to continue.

Douqin.

This is the next clip to be shot.

But it's divided into two parts.

Because of the sound recording and storyboarding, the group portrait of the Qin Duo was shot first, and then the close-up of the Qin Duo scene was shot. And because it involves some things like piano fingering... Jay Chou and Yu Hao did it themselves...

In this scene, the scene between Qingyi and Lu Xiaoyu has been filmed, and before starting the piano fight scene, Xu Xin checked the indoor set and finally discovered what was lacking.

"Where's the pictorial for "The Pianist on the Sea"?"

he asked about the prop.

The props were stunned...

"Want...a pictorial?"

The prop master looked helplessly in Jay Chou's direction.

"……What's the matter?"

Seeing the prop master's look for help, Jay Chou walked over and heard Xu Xin ask:

"Where's the pictorial for "The Pianist on the Sea"?"

"... Do you have to do that? It doesn't match the theme of this piano room, so I didn't let you do it."

Hearing Jay Chou's words, Xu Xin rolled his eyes:

"Then what is this? A discerning person can tell at a glance that you are copying "The Pianist on the Sea". What is this? Plagiarizing shots? If you put a poster and give a close-up, that's a tribute. If you don't, it's plagiarism. It’s a big difference, okay?”

After saying that, without giving Jay Chou a chance to explain, he looked around and pointed directly at the prop master:

"After a while, Alang and Abao were sitting in that position. Instead of Mozart, they directly framed the poster of "The Pianist on the Sea" and placed it between the two of them. The shot of the two of them will be delayed and retouched. Hurry, go and get it. "

After giving instructions to the prop master, who nodded and left quickly, Xu Xin glanced at Jay Chou and Yu Hao over there, and said:

"Okay, leave these things to me, and you can just play your piano well. Go ahead."

"……Sure."

Jay Chou responded, sat in front of the piano and began to move and relax his fingers.

Xu Xin quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

so far so good.

Fortunately, this footage was added, otherwise this clip might have been accused of plagiarism.

If his first film was criticized for this, he would really not be able to bear it.

It’s not that movies don’t allow for reference, or to pay homage... There are so-called articles from all over the world, let alone movies, and similar things can be found in certain literary works.

For example, "Inside and Outside the Circle" and "How Many Flowers Fall in Dreams"... Anyone with a discerning eye can see that you copied it, but if you insist on borrowing from it, then it can only be said that you are shameless...

And the reason why he insisted on adding a movie poster to this piano room full of European classical style... Actually, this is the reason. If you take it and use it directly, you will be scolded by others as lacking quality, and you will be labeled as a plagiarist.

But if you directly use the language of the lens to point out the connection between the things to be photographed, then it becomes a way to pay tribute to the predecessors.

Although...Xu Xin still doesn't like this scene.

But that’s how it was in the script, so it had to be done.

Fortunately, in the end, Jay Chou didn't play the piano and light up a cigarette...

Otherwise, no matter how you put up posters, you won't be able to stop "plagiarism".

But he must also admit that this kind of naked stunt scene is really interesting at first glance...

It can be regarded as one of the few places in this drama where people can feel the "climax".

Very cool.

Unfortunately it's not original.

…

Time flies and January 18th arrives.

Jay Chou's birthday was celebrated on the set.

No fancy party, no big surprises.

I didn’t even see much of the birthday present.

Because this day was the crew’s first day of location shooting, and the location chosen was the wind lane of Chaoyinhai.

There are actually only two scenes in the whole play here.

At first glance, it seems to express Ye Xianglun's rush to Lu Xiaoyu's home and his return journey.

But in fact, it is a shot that expresses Ye Xianglun's state of mind.

Xu Xin boldly used long shots, turning what was originally planned to be a very simple scene into two scenes that together totaled nearly 10 seconds.

The wind path of Chaoyinhai is a small slope.

He used a contrast lens.

Going uphill means going to Lu Xiaoyu’s home, while going downhill means coming back from Lu Xiaoyu’s home.

The so-called contrast is that when he went to find Lu Xiaoyu before Lu Xiaoyu disappeared, Ye Xianglun's mood was high.

So when going uphill, he pedaled hard and sprinted uphill extremely fast.

Through his back in the fixed shot, you can easily feel the impatience.

But after Lu Xiaoyu disappeared, he went to find Lu Xiaoyu several times, but his mood fell to the bottom. Therefore, when going downhill, he just relied on inertia, and his whole body seemed to be frozen in the car. It was clear that he would get faster speed just by sprinting, but he did nothing.

Underlying is a sense of confusion and stagnation.

It happened to be his birthday when these two long shots were taken.

It's also Xu Xin's revenge day.

In the past few days, Jay Chou kept catching the "kissing scene" every day, teasing him there.

And today...it was just an uphill climb, and he made Jay Chou run back and forth five times.

In fact, that kind of impactful uphill pedaling was shot the first time. But as for the director who was so bad that he had pus on his heels... the entire crew was holding back their laughter, listening to Xu Xin saying something specious on the intercom, making Jay Chou huff and puff as he climbed the hill over and over again.

On the fifth time, Xu Xin finally couldn't hold back his laughter.

Only then did Jay Chou realize that he had been tricked.

He came over with a cart to trouble Xu Xin, but the crew just rolled out the cake prepared for him.

We all had a very interesting birthday together.

It also represents the beginning of location shooting.

In fact, a lot of interesting things happened during the filming of the exterior scenes, and the atmosphere of the crew became more and more relaxed with these beautiful scenery.

Frankly speaking, these people find it very easy to film with Director Xu.

Director Wanwan is not as fond of swearing, or if he sees you being lazy, he will feel that you are wasting investors' money...

There is no particularly big role pressure or baggage.

At least that's what Guilun Mei thinks.

Director Xu will always use the most correct ideas to inspire you and let you show a natural expression of your acting skills.

This alone was enough to impress her.

I especially remember that when she was filming "Blue Door", because she didn't understand the director's ideas, when she got stuck on a few lines, she was so hard-pressed that she only dared to cry secretly by herself.

But in this crew... Whenever I feel that my situation is not right, as long as I go to Director Xu, I will always get a very unique breakdown from this "brother" who is two years younger than me.

Therefore, this crew is really comfortable to stay with.

It's really a blessing to work with a director who is willing to take the trouble to break down the composition of the character for you and work hard on improving his directing skills.

Another example is Jay Chou.

While filming on location in a renovated video store, he accidentally found an old CD of Joan Denver singing "Country Roads."

When the crew was filming the set, they thought they were bored and put it on the CD player to listen to it.

As a result, I listened... When Xu Xin finished arranging all the camera seats and found him, he and Huang Junlang were muttering something about "cowboys".

After asking him what he was doing, Jay Chou told him that he had some inspiration and planned to write a song...

Xu Xin rolled his eyes.

I asked you to make a movie, and you came to be a photographer?

No matter what, in short, in this smooth and relaxed atmosphere, the number of film boxes that have been shot in the crew of "The Untold Secret" is increasing day by day.

Time... passed slowly.

…

"Hey, eat slowly, and no one is trying to compete with you. What are you doing?"

Seeing the sesame biscuits being devoured by chopstick after chopstick, Yang Mi was speechless:

"What's wrong with you? Is Teacher Guo being mean to you? Is he reluctant to give you meat or something? Why are you so hungry?"

Sitting on the second floor of the barbecue building, surrounded by screens... tentatively considered a private seat, Yang Mi asked, holding the straw of Arctic Ocean Soda in her mouth.

"No, no... Gudu Gudu... Ha~ Sister, can I have another bottle?"

After drinking a glass bottle of Coke and having a mouth full of oily sesame cakes, Yang Mi nodded:

"Would you like... waiter, please bring me a big bucket of Coke."

Wearing a peaked cap, she yelled at the waiter outside, and then she said doubtfully:

"Then what are you doing? You haven't eaten in three days?"

"It's almost the same..."

There were only some onions and coriander left on the plate of barbecue. Before the second plate was refilled, the sesame seed cake pulled the onions and muttered:

"Master said I was too fat and needed to lose weight. He said he would lose weight with me... I can't eat rice, steamed buns, flatbreads every day these days... I can't eat anything. I can't drink coke, and I'm not allowed to eat braised pork. ... Just let me eat boiled chicken breasts and rotten vegetable leaves..."

"What are rotten vegetable leaves..."

Yang Mi rolled her eyes:

"Teacher Guo is also doing it for your own good. You are indeed a little fat... This affects your development, you know? Xiaobing... a boy, you have to be like your brother Xu. It doesn't matter if you wear clothes, but you have to have meat when you take off clothes. "

"I have it."

Shaobing touched his round belly.

This made Yang Mi roll her eyes again:

"I'm talking about muscles! You're fat!"

"But... losing weight is too painful, sister, I'm so hungry..."

"..."

After hearing this, Yang Mi, who still felt sorry for the half-grown child, turned her head again:

"Waiter, I'm adding some roast lamb..."

"Four more sesame seeds."

Shaobing didn’t forget to add.

"……well."

Although she didn't feel sorry for her wallet, seeing how starving her child was so bad, Yang Mi still sighed:

"I'm telling you, it's definitely not good for you to call me to listen to cross talk today... I just paid 30 yuan for the ticket. You will cost me at least 300 yuan for this meal!"

"...hehehe."

Shaobing laughed sheepishly.

He quickly changed the subject:

"Sister, when will Brother Xu come back?"

"You still dare to wait for him to come back?...Hmph."

The girl sneered:

"The weight loss method your master taught you didn't work, and you suffered... You can't be hungry to lose weight, you know? Just be lucky that your brother Xu is not here. Your brother Xu is coming. I will take you to the gym after eating. .That’s called real torture.”

Shaobing's face was bitter, and his facial features were all squeezed together:

"Then...Brother Xu, it's better not to come back."

"Why!"

Yang Mi rolled her eyes again:

"Sister will go in two days. Then tell him about this. Just wait. When he comes back from filming, he will take you to lose weight every day."

Shaobing's vision went dark...

However, the second plate of barbecue was also served with a fragrant smell.

He quickly picked up the remaining half of the sesame sauce sesame pancake and took a big pair of chopsticks...

"Ouch, young master... let's eat slowly, why don't I fight with you if I don't..."

"I'm so hungry, sister...really...how many days will you leave?"

I asked while eating the sesame cake.

Yang Mi nodded:

"Well, your brother Xu is waiting for me to finish."

"Um...sister, when will you and my brother Xu get married?"

"..."

Yang Mi was stunned, blinked, and asked:

"Why do you ask this?"

"I'll be the best man for you two...I heard from Uncle Jing that the best man has to be unattractive in order to set off the groom's handsomeness..."

"Who said you're not handsome?"

She showed a somewhat protective look:

"Stop listening to their nonsense, do you hear me? A man can't just look at his face. It's not right to judge someone by appearance. You have to have substance, you know? Only men with substance have taste. You are quite handsome, and you have grown up. He must be a handsome guy. Don’t think you are ugly, he is much uglier than you..."

"That means I'm still ugly."

"Well……"

The girl was stunned...and rolled her eyes:

"Eat your flesh!"

"Hehe~"

Shaobing seemed to be smiling quite happily and continued to ask:

"Sister, will you and Brother Xu get married?"

"Why do you want us to get married so much? My sister's career has just started, so it's too early to get married."

"Aren't you anxious, Brother Xu?"

"Well……"

Being asked this question suddenly, Yang Mi thought about it...

It seems that I have never talked about this with my brother.

After thinking for a while, he shook his head:

"Ask him later...about the cake."

"?"

"If I quarrel with your brother Xu, who will you help?"

"I will definitely help you, sister! If Brother Xu dares to bully you... I'll beat him to death!"

"Goose goose goose goose goose goose..."

All of a sudden, the girl was happy:

"That's interesting! It's not in vain that my sister loves you so much!... Come on, come on, if you want something to eat, order it yourself!"

"Hehehe~ No, no, no, eat first, eat first, don't waste it..."

While the two were eating, there was a sound of footsteps outside the screen.

Today the girl took the time to listen to a cross talk, mainly because Shaobing sent her a message and asked her if she wanted to come and listen to the cross talk. Although I dare not say that I am a good actor, "The Golden Jacket" is still showing off at the box office after all.

It premiered on December 14th and was released on January 30th today. In the past 40 days, it has earned 291 million in domestic box office.

The domestic box office is definitely "losing money", but it also broke Hero's box office record. As for the overseas box office, she didn't care.

But the chances of her face being recognized are gradually increasing.

So eating and other things have been particularly troublesome recently. I have to avoid people and disguise myself.

Today is no exception.

And this dining table with a screen is just a private seat, not a private room.

But at least it can avoid some people, but because there is no door blocking it, you can still see outside.

People have a subconscious habit after hearing noise.

That's looking back.

Then, Yang Mi was stunned and subconsciously shouted:

"Wen Jing?"

Bao Wenjing, who had just planned to follow a boy into the booth next to her for dinner, subconsciously turned her head when she heard the noise, and then saw Yang Mi.

"..."

She was stunned for a moment, then shouted:

"Mimi?"

Then Yang Mi stood up, her eyes full of surprise:

"Why are you here too?"

After getting up, she came to the opening between the booth and the aisle.

At the same time, she also saw a boy with a firework perm looking at her.

Yang Mi doesn’t know the boy.

He didn't pay attention to the other party, but directly took the hand of Bao Wenjing, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

It has been the end of January since she started working on Golden A this year, and she has only gone to school very few times. And when she went to school, Bao Wenjing was not there either.

When I asked Tang Wan, Tang Wan said, "I'm in love and I'm going out with my boyfriend."

She's quite gossipy.

And looking at it today...

I understood in my heart, so I was happy and had a gossipy look on my face:

"he is the one……"

"Well……"

An unnatural look flashed across Bao Wenjing's face.

Like vigilance, like something else...

But he still nodded:

"Yes, Bao Beier, my boyfriend."

Following Bao Wenjing's introduction, Yang Mi politely stretched out her hand:

"Hello, handsome guy..."

Just as Bao Beier was about to hold it, Bao Wenjing stopped Yang Mi and said:

"Hey, hey, what are you doing...my boyfriend!"

"Well……"

Yang Mi was stunned... Bao Beier was actually stunned too.

But the girl is so smart. He patted her arm affectionately in an instant:

"Yes, yes, I know. I just heard Tang Wan say, isn't this the first time I've seen a real person... Are you here to eat?"

"Well. What are you..."

"Oh, I'm here to have a meal with my cousin."

Hearing Yang Mi's words, Bao Wenjing looked at Shaobing, who had already stood up and shouted "Hello, sister", nodded with a smile and asked:

"You and Jay Chou..."

"Shh~"

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi quickly raised her finger to say nothing:

"We haven't finished filming yet. I have another scene here. I won't go back to film for a few days before I leave."

"……so good."

Bao Wenjing's eyes were filled with envy.

The girl was not willing to talk too much about such a different matter, so she said politely:

"Shall we eat together?"

"No, no, no, no, you two can eat, don't be a light bulb~hehe~"

"Hahaha~Okay~"

Listening to Bao Wenjing's words, Yang Mi smiled happily:

"I promise not to be a light bulb... then you two go and eat."

"Well, bye."

"Bye~"

It could be seen that Bao Wenjing seemed to be "wary", so Yang Mi did not say hello to Bao Beier. After waving her hands, she also returned to her seat after the two of them entered the private room next to them and started ordering.

The private seats are not soundproof, but Yang Mi can clearly hear the ordering voices over there.

But unlike her attitude of rushing to eat the cows and sheep with her sesame cakes, the young couple over there still fell within the scope of students when ordering food. Two plates of meat, plus some vegetarian dishes.

Then... after the ordering was completed, Yang Mi could only hear some whispers, but could not clearly hear what the conversation was about.

As soon as her eyes rolled, she understood the meaning and said:

"Eat quickly. I have to take you back after you finish."

Shaobing is not someone who lives in an ivory tower and doesn't know the temperament of society's people. With the master, he has seen the good, the bad, the good in the bad, and the knife hidden in the good. He has seen everything that needs to be seen.

Naturally, I know what Sister Mi means.

He nodded and started eating like crazy.

While eating, we chatted, but all we talked about were things related to the Crane family.

Soon, after eating several plates of meat, eight sesame-sauce pancakes including Yang Mi, and a large bucket of Coke, the girl asked with a smile:

"Are you full?"

"Um!"

"Then let's go?"

"good."

The two got up and when they went out, they saw Bao Wenjing and Bao Beier talking and laughing in a low voice.

She took half a step into the booth:

"Wen Jing, I'm leaving..."

It was during this greeting that she suddenly froze.

When the two of them came in just now, they were both wearing down jackets.

Even if the barbecued meat is served, there is still an alcohol block burning underneath to keep it warm. With the addition of a radiator, the temperature is not too low.

Bao Wenjing and Bao Beier took off their coats naturally.

Bao Wenjing even rolled up her sleeves.

It was better not to roll it up. After rolling up her sleeves, Yang Mi saw a circular scar on Bao Wenjing's arm.

It's red and looks like it's just grown.

Very conspicuous.

"Wen Jing, what's wrong with your arm?"

"Well……"

Bao Wenjing, who was about to stand up to say goodbye, subconsciously took off her clothes and then said with a smile:

"It's okay... Then Mimi, I won't give it to you."

"...Okay. Let's go, bye."

Yang Mi waved her hand and took the sesame seeds directly to the first floor.

"The bill is settled...and the seat next to me is also counted."

The waiter who came down nodded. After counting the two together, the total was over five hundred.

After giving him five hundred yuan, Yang Mi put on a thick down jacket and took out the key to the 911.

Sit in with sesame seed cakes.

The barbecue is here in Beixinqiao, and the sesame cake has to go back to Tianqiao Deyun Club. There is still seven or eight kilometers in between. The girl is definitely not worried about him going back alone.

After getting in the car, she dialed Tang Wan's phone while driving.

"Dudu...Hey, big star, why are you willing to call me?"

Tang Wan's hearty voice sounded.

"Hey, Wanwan, what are you doing?"

"What's going on at home? Want to come to Northeast China? Come on, I'll take you skiing."

"Goodbye, I'm falling anyway...hey, let me tell you something."

"Just tell me."

"Didn't Wenjing go with you during this vacation? I just saw her at the Barbeque Wan. And her boyfriend."

"Bao Beier?"

"right."

"They said they were here during the winter vacation to see if they could run a few crews. Bao Beier wanted to run, and Wen Jing wanted to accompany him, so they didn't come back with me... Have you talked?"

"said."

"Hahaha, isn't Wen Jing so precious to her boyfriend? It's like anyone wants to rob her every day... Hahahahaha..."

Hearing Tang Wan's words, Yang Mi nodded with deep approval while driving:

"No, I asked you to shake hands but I was stopped...Hey, I just saw a cigarette scar on Wen Jing's arm. What's going on? Did you get burned in the dormitory?"

"Uh...hi."

Tang Wan sighed:

"Forget it, the person Wen Jing chased didn't agree at first, so Wen Jing said: If you don't agree, I'll burn myself with a cigarette butt... Bao Beier didn't believe it, so she said you should burn it. She really got burned... Do you think she is a tiger? She is so proud of herself, saying that she moved Bao Beier with her sincerity... Do you think there is something wrong with her brain?"

"..."

Yang Mi's mouth twitched...

"Is that so...Okay, I'm just asking."

"Anyway, you can say anything to her, just don't mention her boyfriend. If you ask more questions, she will think you are trying to steal her boyfriend. I can tell, she really will do anything for this Bao Beier... …”

"Don't worry, I will definitely stay eight poles away from her boyfriend from now on... Okay, that's okay, I'm just asking. You can be busy, I'm driving."

"Ola, I'll give up then. See you when school starts."

"Uh-huh."

The phone hangs up.

The girl drove in silence for a while, then suddenly said:

"Cake."

"ah?"

"When looking for a girlfriend in the future, you must not look for such a particularly extreme girlfriend, you know?"

"Well……"

Shaobing looked a little puzzled:

"Why?"

"Because... her love will become a burden to you sooner or later. And you can't afford the price that a breakup may cause."

Yang Mi shook her head firmly:

"On this matter, listen to me, sister, you know? Once you find out that the other person is such an extreme person, stay as far away from her as possible. Because you can't guarantee what kind of pain she will bring to you while hurting herself. Price. Did you hear that?”

"..."

Seeing that Shaobing didn't respond, Yang Mi turned around to look at his blank expression and urged:

"Did you hear that?"

"heard it……"

Shaobing nodded:

"Then how do you tell if she is an extreme person?"

"...Sister, I'll help you see. I promise you, if you find someone, I'll bring him over to show you. And before I tell you whether it's okay, don't have any intimate sexual contact with this kind of girl, understand. Or... you said, don't you feel uncomfortable when you meet someone like her who forces you to bow by hurting herself, taking advantage of your sympathy or competing with you to see who is bolder? "

"Well……"

Although he still didn't quite understand what his sister meant, Shaobing still nodded:

"I understand, I will bring my virginity to you to see, right?"

"Yes...and."

The girl driving the car continued:

"When making friends with people, don't make close friends with people who are particularly prone to blindness and stupidity. Such stupidity may also hurt you!"

"...Just...like this sister?"

"Yes. Someone like her...think about it, as a crosstalk actor, would you risk your throat and mouth being hurt to do something?"

"of course not."

"For actors, the face and body are equivalent to the throat and mouth you use for cross talk, right?"

"Well……"

"Even you can understand things, but she doesn't understand...it directly ruins her job. If you don't stay away from such a stupid person, why do you still take the initiative to get close to her? Are you sick?"

"..."

This time, Shaobing really understands.

He nodded immediately:

"I understand, sister, I will definitely stay as far away from this kind of people in the future as possible."

"So good~"

Smiling and pinching the fat boy's ears, the girl in a good mood stepped on the accelerator, and the 911's powerful power was instantly output.

Get rid of all the unhappiness, and drive towards the destination in the dark of night.
