I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 697 694. Run

"How was the shot?"

"It's okay, the part of listening to the opera in the theater is over, and there is only the last scene for the two of us. I walked back with him after the theater ended and told him "I used to have him in my heart" and so on Balabala, and then it was finished. But today it was not filmed, and Director Wang felt that the light above our heads was not yellow enough, so we needed to change it. Let’s see it tomorrow, I’m in good condition, and I should be able to finish the film.”

Yang Mi narrated what happened to her that day through the phone, and then asked:
"What are you doing?"

"Eat noodle."

Holding a bowl of noodles in his hand, Xu Xin grunted as he ate the noodles, and responded.

Hearing this, Yang Mi asked:
"How much is left?"

"This is the last meal..."

"Ah! Why are you eating so fast! Before I left, I boiled two big pots of marinade for you. I was afraid that you would not have enough to eat. I gave you 30 servings. Have you finished eating?"

Before she left, she boiled a pot of stewed noodles with tomatoes, carrots and celery, and a pot of stewed mutton broth for her husband.

Put them all in freezer bags.

And in order to prevent him from not being able to work hard and discriminating between grains and grains, she divided them according to their share.

One serving is a meal, and there are thirty servings in full.

She expects to go for ten or eight days at most, and her husband can go out to eat, so it can be said that the amount is enough for the preparation.

Not to mention that she prepared a large bag of hand-rolled noodles according to her husband's appetite.

Divided into small bags as well.

I have only been away for ten days, why did I finish eating?

Thinking of this, she subconsciously asked:
"How many days have you not gone out?"

"Uh...God...go out every day. Just...go out for a walk with Zaizai and Niuniu every day."

"Why are you stuttering?"

Yang Mi felt something was wrong.

Then start shouting:

"Zaizai, Zaizai? Niuniu! Come on, come on, mom is here... Come on, let the two call out, I'll listen."

"Uh……"

Xu Xin held a noodle bowl, looked at the empty house, and gave a dry laugh:
"Zaizai and Niuniu went to bed."

"You fart! The surname Xu, if you don't tell the truth, I'll send someone to make a surprise inspection at home! Tell me! Where did you get Zizai and Niuniu to me!"

"...Brother Qian'er."

As a last resort, Xu Xin told the truth:

"It's not what I want to give away. Brother Qian'er, you also know that if you like these two dogs, you can't do it. After you left, you almost knelt down and begged me. I really couldn't bear his pleading, so I asked Xiaobing to come and pick it up." of."

Yang Mixin said, just fart.

Asked:
"So... you haven't walked your dog these days?!"

"……No."

"Didn't go out to eat either!?"

"……Um."

"Then what have you been doing these ten days? Have you gone out for a step!?"

"……Out."

"Where did you go?"

"Just...downstairs take a walk around Jingzang Lake."

"You can pull it down! Every time I don't take you for a walk, you wish you could weld yourself in the house!... You haven't been out for ten days, have you?"

"..."

Now, Xu Xin stopped talking.

And if he didn't speak, Yang Mi knew that she had guessed right.

Suddenly completely speechless.

"Where's Mengmeng?! Hasn't she come over these days?!"

"What is she doing here? It's not enough to bother me...I haven't been working on movies all this time. I haven't gone out much...It's okay, are you okay? I'm going to hang up."

"beep!"

Seeing that the grandson was about to slip away, Yang Mi stepped on the brakes without thinking, and asked:

"You haven't changed your clothes for a few days!?"

"What! I change every day!"

"What about the changed clothes?"

"..."

Xu Xin fell silent again.

"Ah!!! The surname is Xu! Don't our pants have to fly all over the sky!!!!"

"Nonsense! I washed it myself!"

"That's okay...you know how to use the washing machine? What about the dryer? Can you use it?"

"Uh……"

Hearing his wife's inquiry, a little embarrassment appeared on his face:

"Can you help me buy some pants from Taobao?"

"...Why? You have a lot of underpants, and I bought them for you."

"Dye... dyed."

He looked embarrassed.

After saying this, everyone seemed to have guessed the expression on his wife's brain hemorrhage.

Quickly explained:
"Just... I helped Lun'er color the painting. I wanted to adjust the flesh color, and I accidentally stepped on the red paint. I thought it was okay... but... it was... dyed... the underpants turned into pink That's it. Oh yes, and socks...but don't be mad! The pink socks are pretty nice...oh yes, and those white T-shirts you bought me...but it's ok, then The white t-shirt doesn’t have any patterns, if it’s dyed, it’s dyed, and you can wear it later…”

"Ah!!!!! Xu Sanjin!!!!!!"

Yang Mi's temple exploded in an instant.

In the past, she was quite proud, thinking that she had successfully raised her husband into a good-for-nothing waste.

Come, look, the trash of the Mu family!
Awesome, right?
I raised it! 【Pinch waist】

But now... There was only one thought in her mind.

How did I raise such an unfilial son like you! ! !

You want to piss off my old lady, right?

"I'm telling you! Xu Sanjin! You're dead! You're really dead! The Heavenly King and I can't keep you here! I said it! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !

"Oh, someone called me, I hung up first."

Doodle.

Hanging up the phone, Yang Mi looked at the blacked-out screen and felt steam coming from her nostrils, ears and eyes.

Direct red temperature.

Without further ado, he called him back.

result……

"Hello, the number you dialed is currently on the phone..."

"?"

Sun thief, are you playing the busy line routine?

……

"You are dead! Xu Sanjin!!!"

"(&...*&￥"

"@#￥%#%"

"■■■■■■"

He directly ignored his wife's text message that was completely mosaic, frowned and said to the phone:
"You don't think it's suitable?"

"Correct."

Wang Qianyuan's voice was a little more apologetic:
"Although you think I am suitable for Yi Guchun, but... I have been reading novels for the past few months. Compared with Yi Guchun, Yang Zidao calls me more..."

"Well, that's it..."

Xu Xin didn't pay much attention either:
"That's fine. You can try Yang Zidao in the audition the day after tomorrow. It doesn't matter."

"Ah?...Thank you so much, Director Xu. I'm afraid you'll be angry..."

"Haha, it's okay. Although you got in touch with the script relatively early, it doesn't mean that you are required to play someone. The key is to look at the interpretation of the role. It's okay."

"That's fine, then I can rest assured. Director Xu, please be busy, I'm sorry to call you so late..."

"Don't. Talk a little longer."

"……what?"

"Tell me about your understanding of the role, and I'll see how you understand Yang Zidao..."

Xu Xin took the last bite of noodles in the bowl, watched the "beep beep beep" in WeChat and the 60-second voices one after another, and said to Wang Qianyuan in a calm voice.

Then, Wang Qianyuan chatted with him on the phone for nearly an hour.

Finally, Yang Mi didn't send a voice message for 60 seconds before he hung up the phone.

Don't listen to a voice, don't read a text message.

He replied directly:

"sorry."

A ten-second voice from Yang Mi came over again.

He still didn't read it, just typed:

"Wang Qianyuan called me just now, and we were talking about the character. I wasted a little time. I'm going to wash the dishes."

Another voice came.

Still not looking, he replied:
"Promise to the leader that you will not drop the bowl! Please rest assured!"

After sending this message, a 3-second voice message came over.

He still didn't listen, but responded with an outraged Korean gesture.

look.

Or a couple.

Minds think alike.

What is this wave called?
This wave is called tacit understanding.

……

Early on the 23th.

Before 8 o'clock, Xu Xin had already arrived at the Children's Film Studio on Xidawang Road.

Or West Film Studios.

In fact, thinking about it now, the West Film Studio is still at a disadvantage.

After renting such a large piece of land, Yanjing Children's Film Studio basically got nothing except building a building.

The rent is equivalent to the price of cabbage.

When he arrived at the place, he parked the car in the parking lot of Children's Film Studio.

Because I came earlier, the early morning exercises of the residents in this area have not yet ended.

Xu Xin saw a group of old ladies dancing at the mouth of the small garden next to the Tonghui River.

I don't know if it is a resident of Nanli or where.

The early morning in Yanjing must be busy, especially at Tiantongyuan. It is not too much to say that it is crowded.

But these grandpas and aunts who are either retired, or who are renters and renters are enjoying their own retirement life in this international city.

Even Xu Xin couldn't help feeling envious.

It's just... After hearing the songs they played, I couldn't envy them anymore.

"I! Use! Exhaust! One! Life! One life~ come! Will! You! Make offerings~ every time, every time, every time..."

have to.

The DJ version of "The Offering of Love".

He really vomited...

With the popularity of "Gongsuo Xinyu", it is said that the ratings of this drama have stabilized above 2.6.

These two days seem to be the end.

I don't know if I can break three.

It can be said that this drama is really hot, and you can see all kinds of screenshots everywhere on the Internet, knocking CP and so on.

The name Yang Ying directly became the hottest symbol of this month.

Suddenly jumped into everyone's field of vision.

The drama became popular, and even the theme song became popular.

Although Xu Xin didn't go out at home these days, he managed to go out and found that this song was made into a DJ version.

This shows how hot it is.

He shook his head helplessly, and asked Su Meng:

"This song is almost rotten now, right?"

Su Meng, who praised the song a while ago, nodded vigorously:
"Well, this song is everywhere. I went to get my hair cut two days ago, and the owner of that store didn't know if it was a fan of Sister Baby or something else... I also vomited after listening to this song on an infinite loop."

"Tsk."

He smacked his mouth, listened to the movement, and quickened his pace.

No, it's too noisy to wake up to the DJ in the morning.

I don't know how these uncles and aunts can bear it.

……

All the way to the Beijing office of Xiying Film Studio.

When he arrived, there was no one there.

In Hall No. [-], there were a few people laying out teacups, notebooks and other things he would use later.

At this time, you can actually see the difference between the inside and outside of the system.

The matters within the system, no matter how big or small, must be comprehensive.Even where the teacups, notebooks, and pens are placed, the staff have to use something... something like a triangular board to come to the seat, put the triangular board on the table, and align it with a certain logo.

Then on the circular and square outlines on the triangular board, snap the teacups to be used, etc.

The whole look highlights a neat and tidy.

And Xu Xin's arrival disrupted their movements slightly.

These people quickly stopped what they were doing:
"Director Xu."

"Well. You are busy with your work."

Xu Xin waved his hand to signal that he should be ignored, then sat in the corner, took the script handed over by Su Meng and looked down.

The reason why we chose audition hall No. 3 today is because of the large number of people.

There are really many people.

Qi Lei's reminder was not groundless.

In the Art Creation Center of the West Film Studio, not to mention the directors who can shoot works, there are also a group of freshmen or postgraduates who have graduated from majoring in directing from various colleges.

After being recruited, I practiced in the factory.

But this time, they were all pushed over by Qi Lei.

The idea is to let them come over to gain knowledge and see how Director Xu prepares for the film.

From auditions to drama management, it is their "practice place".

To put it bluntly, it is similar to a football youth training team.

Follow the first team's own head star, gain knowledge and gain some experience.

Therefore, in the crew list that Qi Lei sent him two days ago, there were as many as 95 crew members alone.

These people are all classified as the crew, they are like a brick in the crew, they can be moved wherever they are needed.

Including other crew members, this time there are close to 270 people accompanying the film crew.

In terms of the current Chinese film industry... it is also an amazing big crew.

Although these 200 people did not expect Xu Xin to eat, it was the first time that Xu Xin managed such a large crew, and Xu Xin had no experience.

Fortunately, besides Xue Yong, Li Haiping from "The Wind" also came.

At the same time, under Xu Xin's roll call, Lu Yang also followed.

This time, there are only four assistant directors.

That is to say, Zhang Mo has gone to "Jinling", otherwise if she is added, I am afraid that there will be five.In addition to Li Pingdong as the director of photography, 4 other scene directors also came, including Wang Lei, and they all joined the crew.

There is no room for these people in Hall [-], so Hall [-] with a stage can only be opened.

While he was looking down at the script, the second person who arrived walked in.

After seeing Xu Xin, he hurried over:
"Director Xu."

Xu Xin looked up, smiled and nodded:
"Ah."

The person who came was Lu Yang.

"Where's Chen Shu?"

"I'm writing a script at home."

Lu Yang finished speaking with a smile and sat beside him.

"There are a lot of people coming from outside."

"How many have you come?"

Xu Xin glanced at the time and found that it was only half past eight.

There is still an hour until the audition starts.

"Many, there are no less than [-] actors who can call out their names. They are all in the waiting hall."

Xu Xin nodded, while reading the script, he asked another question casually:
"How is the preparation for the story of Jin Yiwei?"

"I have an idea, but..."

Speaking of this, Lu Yang paused and asked:

"Do you think it's appropriate to shoot straight up? Or backwards?"

"...?"

Xu Xin was taken aback.

Just listen to Lu Yang explain:
"If it is filmed forward, the connection of the plot will be much smoother. But if it is filmed backwards, the cost will be lower. There is a possibility of trial and error..."

"That is to say..."

Xu Xin recalled those two stories:
"The filming started from Saarhu, right? The male lead survived that battle and became a Jin Yiwei...Wei Zhongxian was still alive at that time, and it was the time when the power was in full swing. Right?"

"Correct."

"There's no big scene in this story, right? Jin Yiwei is not a regular army, and what they do is not to confront the enemy head-on on the battlefield. Where can we make a big scene?"

Xu Xin looked at him strangely.

Xin said, did you misunderstand the big scene?

Lu Yang was actually quite speechless.

Xin said that the big scene you mentioned is really different from the big scene I mentioned.

But he understood what Xu Xin meant:

"Shooting in normal order?"

"Yes, this way, the audience's acceptance will definitely be higher. Unless you don't plan to make a sequel...or merge the two stories together. But that's too bloated, and the story must not be well told. It's the same sentence , When a new director starts, the story line is simpler and more direct. Learn how to tell a clear story first, and then think about complicated things."

"Oh, I see."

Lu Yang had the bottom line in his heart, nodded and said:

"Then when the story is finished, you will help me check it out."

"Well. Where's Teacher Lu? Are you here today?"

"Come on, I was already on the way to call just now, and I guess it will be soon."

As the literary consultant who recommended "Sunspot" to him, Lu Haibo will definitely come here today.

After finishing speaking, Lu Yang asked tentatively:

"Director Xu, Sister Mi's side... If the script is acceptable and the filming starts..."

"she?"

Xu Xin was taken aback.

Confusedly asked:
"Who do you want her to play?... Ding Baiying?"

"Ok!"

Lu Yang nodded vigorously:

"I came up with this role when I saw her practicing!"

"Well……"

Xu Xin subconsciously began to apply Ding Baiying's setting to his wife.

In fact, he doesn't really care about the coffee position or something.

The wife doesn't care much either.

When she reads the script now, she mainly looks at whether the characters are interesting or not.

As for the role of Ding Baiying...

The only possibility he could think of for his wife to be interested in was...

"Then you'd better design a few plots that will make her enjoy playing. Otherwise, it may not be easy to invite her."

Although he didn't agree directly, he didn't refuse either.

This alone is enough to make Lu Yang's eyes light up:

"No problem! Then I will discuss it with Sister Mi."

"Ah."

While the two were talking, the door of Hall No. [-] was pushed open again.

Qi Lei took the lead and led a group of humming people in the corridor.

After seeing Xu Xin and Lu Yang, he smiled and said:

"It's so early?"

Seeing this, Xu Xin stood up and greeted him while nodding:
"It can't be later than the leader you arrived, right?"

"..."

Qi Lei rolled his eyes.

After glancing at him, he asked:
"How long has Mimi been away?"

"More than ten days."

"...No wonder."

Looking at the image of Xu Xin's hair growing and his beard unshaven, he sighed with emotion.

In the few years I've known him, it's really rare to see him with such a "sloppy" image.

But there is no one to take care of by my mother-in-law... This image is also normal.

Then, the group of people began to look for places to sit down.

There are really many people.

Not long after, the entire Hall No. [-] was full.

Finally, Li Pingdong, who came late, walked in quickly with his apprentice Lin Li.

Everyone is here, no need for Xu Xin to say, Qi Lei nodded to the staff:

"Let everyone get ready, the audition will start in 10 minutes."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said to Xu Xin who was eating grapes next to him:

"I have arranged for the people in our factory to work in the afternoon."

"also."

Xu Xin nodded indifferently.

Soon, three staff members walked in each holding a stack of actor materials.

Looking at the thickness and quantity of the materials, Xu Xin's eyes twitched...

Asked directly:
"All collected? How many people?"

"Director Xu, here are the materials of all audition candidates, a total of 420 copies."

"!"

Xu Xin just felt his head go black...

Take less?

Although his job only needs to audition the main characters in the play, such as the last killer in the script, or the few drug dealers captured by Xin Xiaofeng and Yi Guchun when they went on a mission together for the first time, he is not needed Tube.

Just give it to a few assistant directors.

But after hearing the number, he still felt a tingling in his temple.

"What about the number of the six main characters? Have you got the statistics?"

"It's all here."

The staff member who answered his question put his hand on the stack of audition actor materials that he had just placed on the table.

"A total of 466 actors."

"..."

In fact, let alone him, when they heard the total number of auditions, the people from Xiying Studio who came to study today were also speechless.

The family knows their own affairs.

The West Film Studio is not in the Beijing area, and it does not have such a huge resource of actor groups.

Although they have opened the door now, they will not reject actors from the Beijing circle...but people who understand know that there are not many actors who really dare to come.

More people are watching, and those who really have some business channels basically ignore it.

After all, actors have their own agencies.

Even if the actor is willing to spare, the brokerage company has to consider whether it can bear the "anger" of the Beijing circle.

But this number is exaggerated enough.

At this time, Qi Lei leaned into Xu Xin's ear and said:

"I actually saw some "new faces" today, and a lot of people really came."

Hearing this, Xu Xin nodded first, then sighed helplessly.

have to.

Another test of willpower.

Looking at the time on his watch, he nodded:

"Okay, I got it. Prepare to call the first actor to enter the stage. Also, tell the actors outside that today we will concentrate on auditioning for the main male role. I Guxia's role will be put on tomorrow, so I won't mix it up."

"Okay, Director Xu."

After bringing all the materials in front of Xu Xin, the staff walked out quickly.

And Xu Xin picked up the information of the No. [-] audition candidate.

It’s okay not to read it, but after a glance, he was suddenly taken aback, turned around and handed the information to Lu Yang who was sitting behind:
"Is this the one from "Cinema for the Blind"?"

Lu Yang stretched his head to look, then nodded:
"Yes, it's him."

"How is his acting?"

"not bad."

Lu Yang thought for a while before giving the answer.

Hearing this, Xu Xin nodded.

Soon, the door was pushed open.

A man with a crew cut came in and bowed to everyone:
"Hi director, my name is Zhou Yiwei. I am 186cm tall and weigh 65kg. I graduated from Beijing Film Academy and is currently working as an assistant teacher in the acting department. The role I am auditioning for today is Xin Xiaofeng..."

A teaching assistant at your own school?
Xu Xin was taken aback.

I thought why haven't I seen him?

But immediately relieved...

Don't say this is an assistant teacher of the acting department.

He didn't even know who the teaching assistant in the directing department was.

But because of the relationship between Lu Yang and his school, Xu Xin still nodded with a smile and said:

"The extracted performance clips are over there, you have 3 minutes to prepare, come on."

Hearing this, Zhou Yiwei froze for a moment, then nodded calmly:
"Okay, thank you Director Xu."

He extracted a clip of the performance, and after watching it, he fell silent.

After about a minute, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and smoked it on his own.

He smoked hard and fast.

After a few sips, the smoke is half down.

Then, he pinched and sipped the cigarette butt with the thumb of his left hand.

Black soot, falling.

He raised his head, frowned and looked at the air next to him...
