Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 161 Is It Really Our Classmate Cheng Xi?
Cheng Xi’s welcome speech video became a hot topic on Weibo.

It also quickly spread to Cheng Xi's circle of acquaintances.

Primary school classmates:
[Is this big black guy Cheng Xi? ]

[When I was little, I was very fair and small.]

I asked someone I know, and it really was him. I didn't expect it, I really couldn't tell at the time.

Someone in our class actually became a famous director. It's incredible. It's a pity he's not in the group.

Junior high school classmates:
@Bai Xue, is Cheng Xi really the director of "Wan Wan" and "Diao Si"?

I've watched both of these shows countless times, and my whole family was hooked on the recently released "The Beginning."

I didn’t expect that our class would have two big stars.

High school classmates:
[@Cheng Xi, Director Cheng is awesome! ]

[+1 upstairs]

As classmates, when Director Cheng's film is released, we must all go and support it!

Cheng Xi's former deskmates, teammates, dining companions, and some friends, classmates, and neighbors who have gradually drifted away.

People who have bullied or who he has bullied, people who like him or who he likes.

During the teaching process, the Chinese language teachers instantly became famous teachers that everyone praised.

This was all because acquaintances kept forwarding and inquiring about it, asking various questions like "Is it true?" and "Is this really the Cheng Xi we know?"

Then everything became known.

It turns out that all the dramas I have been watching were directed by Cheng Xi, he is Zui Bai!

He is currently filming the 100 million RMB movie "Life Events".

They all felt that they could not reconcile the big black guy with the Cheng Xi in their memories.

The shock was so great that it seemed a little unreal.

But no matter what, Cheng Xi became the talk of the town in his hometown.

"Cheng Xi is my classmate and we used to be close friends."

"I've watched Cheng Xi grow up since he was little, and I've always felt he has a lot of potential."

"Cheng Xi liked me before, not you."

"As a Chinese teacher, Cheng Xi's talent for writing must have been cultivated by me."

Cheng Xi's relatives praised Cheng Xi to the sky, saying that this kid was
Let me tell you, I discovered it at that time.
This child will definitely be extraordinary when he grows up!
The book club also became excited, as they finally knew what Zuibai's younger brother looked like.

[This isn't drunken white, this is clearly drunken black! ]

[Drunk white little brother is so handsome, black is manly, auntie doesn't like pretty boys! ]

[From now on, I will no longer call Zuibai my younger brother. From now on, he is my husband! ]

【Husband +1】

【Husband +2】

【I am your father:???】

After seeing the book friends frantically calling Cheng Xi "husband", Reba showed these screenshots to Cheng Xi unhappily.

Of course, the media has also been reporting on Cheng Xi, but they mainly focus on the movie "Life Events".

Especially the media in Jiangcheng, which are quite active in publicity and promotion.

After all, it is rare to have a movie with such a high budget, and most of the movies were shot in Jiangcheng.

Shuangzi was still filming on the set, but when she saw this news during the break, she felt numb.

This brat Cheng Xi is actually really drunk? ?
What the hell is he saying?

All of a sudden she connected it to the meeting of outstanding students and his performance at the casting of "The Beginning".

He told himself several times that he was Zui Bai, and he was just as sharp-tongued as Zui Bai.
Then it suddenly dawned on me, it turned out to be him!
It's one's own preconceived notion.
But why did he change seats?

And I think I also said at that time that if he was really drunk, I would let him have his fun.
Thinking of this, Shuangzi felt a splitting headache.

Shuangzi: "Director, we can't shoot this afternoon. I have a headache."

director:"."

Shuangzi felt so annoyed that he couldn't concentrate on filming the scene at all.

So she got into the nanny car and urged them to go back to the hotel quickly.

While opening QQ, he sent a message to Cheng Xi.

Just go to the chat window and place your hands on the on-screen keyboard.

I don’t even know what to say to him?
Say this is a misunderstanding?
Say you are really drunk?

To resolve the past misunderstanding?
Neither of them is my style.

So after thinking for a long time, I just sent a bunch of question marks.
Jing Tian saw the video message sent by Shuangzi while she was having dinner.

Originally she thought Shuangzi was playing a prank and said that Cheng Xi was drunk.

She was the one I least trusted at the beginning, and now she is using this to deceive me.

When I clicked on the video and saw the host introducing Zuibai, it was really Cheng Xi who appeared.

I was so surprised that my mouth opened wide and didn't close for a long time.
Although he looked a little darker in the video, he seemed more confident and manly than usual.

So she immediately opened QQ and sent Cheng Xi a series of exclamation marks!
Yenching Film Academy.

The president's office meeting is attended by the top administrative heads of each college and department and the heads of important departments.

After studying the topics on today's agenda, Dean Zhang Huijun, as usual, looked at the Vice Dean and asked:
"Dean Chen, if everyone has no agenda, shall we just disband?"

It looks like a question, but it is actually a notification.

All the participants were preparing to pack up and disperse.

Chen Faxiang nodded as usual.

But unexpectedly, the director of the directing department, Wang Ming, coughed twice and said:
"Dean Zhang, I have something else I want to report to everyone."

This time Zhang Huijun frowned slightly and started talking without saying hello.

If Wang Ming was not the director of the directing department, Zhang Huijun would probably have said something offensive.

"What's the matter? Tell me quickly. I have another meeting."

Director Yu became a little impatient when he saw that it was his old rival Wang Ming who spoke.

It just wastes everyone's time.

"At the orientation party, Cheng Xi from the Management Department made fun of us from the Directing Department and even singled out alumnus Lu Chuan."

"Originally, I don't mind if it gets spread within the academy, but we're a family out there. The Management Department is saying this about the Directing Department, isn't that making a fool of themselves?"

When the participants heard that Wang Ming was talking about this, they all looked at Yu Jianhong.

After hearing this, Zhang Huijun immediately said:
"Cheng Xi was just joking with my senior brother. Don't make it a matter between departments."

"But now Cheng Xi's speech video is still hanging on various official accounts. My request is simple. I understand that Cheng Xi is a child and does not know much. I don't need an apology, but his video must be removed."

Although Director Wang Ming of the Directing Department said that Cheng Xi was ignorant, his words implicitly mentioned the Management Department.

Everyone present here is an old hand, how could they not hear such obvious indirect criticism?

Director Yu immediately said:

"Old Wang, I think you're jealous of the talented young man in our Management Department. Why did Lu Chuan ask you to help? How dare you, an old senior, bully a current student?"

"I can take it down as you said, but since everyone is a freshman, we can't just take down Cheng Xi from the Management Department, right?"

"Also, your Directing Department has been making fun of us other departments for years. You get the most funding every year, and it's so rare for us other departments to get on stage to represent you. What have we ever said?"

Director Yu certainly knew what tricks Wang Ming was playing, and now he was cleverly attracting hatred from the director department.

Let other departments stand on his side.

Sure enough, the looks of the deans of other departments also began to grow subtle.

Director Yu then continued:
"If you want to take it down, remove all the previous statements from the directing department representatives, and I'll agree! Otherwise, forget it!"

As soon as Director Yu finished speaking, the conference room became lively with all kinds of buzzing discussions.

Director Yu and Director Wang continued to argue with each other from a distance.

Each of them has his own opinion.

At this time, the person in charge of the college’s publicity department looked as if he had something to say but hesitated.

Vice President Chen was quick-eyed and immediately gestured to everyone to stop.

"Director Zhang, Gong Chuan seems to have something to say."

Zhang Huijun looked over and signaled Gong Chuan, the head of the Propaganda Department, to speak.

Gong Chuan raised his glasses, raised the materials in his hand slightly, and said:
"Director Zhang, our official Weibo account has been struggling to grow its followers. Normally, we only gain a few dozen followers a day, or a few hundred at best."

"But since the freshman speech was uploaded, the number of followers has exceeded 10,000 a day when it's high. Cheng Xi's video has a higher click-through rate than all his videos combined."

After saying that, Gong Chuan simply shut his mouth.

When Wang Ming heard this, he immediately blinked at Dean Zhang.

Originally, Dean Zhang could have taken sides for the sake of the directing department.

But as soon as the promotional data came out, he knew how to make the decision.

He usually attaches great importance to publicity, but he just can't get in. This opportunity is so good, of course he can't waste it.

So he said:

"It's normal for fellow students to argue with each other. I don't think Cheng Xi has any bad intentions. Didn't he make fun of his teacher earlier?"

"Gong Chuan, take advantage of the good traffic and do more promotion. For example, you can publish a special feature on Cheng Xi's works or an interview."

"We need to be flexible when it comes to publicity. Please check with Director Yu on this matter."

"Okay, let's break up the meeting."

Dean Zhang didn't even look at Wang Ming from the Directing Department. He put the materials into his briefcase and walked out of the meeting room in a decisive manner.

Director Yu glanced at Wang Ming, then pretended to be exaggerated and came to Gong Chuan to chat intimately.

As if they were afraid that others didn't know they were going to cooperate.

When the meeting was over, the head of the acting department came to Wang Ming and said:
"The Management Department is so frustrated. They finally managed to produce a talented person, but now they're just letting out all their frustrations in one go."

The Directing Department and the Acting Department have always been relatively independent in the academy, so the two of them felt the same way.

"Humph, with only one director and a movie with a budget of 100 million, it's bound to lose money. I wonder if Old Yu will still be able to laugh when that happens."

"Actually, Cheng Xi is a good kid. Didn't you hear that his dream is to become a director? Old Wang, don't you have an advantage in this regard?"

When Wang Ming heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes, you, Old Yu, are so arrogant. I will cut off your power directly.

He originally had some opinions about Cheng Xi, but now he thought about Cheng Xi's speeches and achievements.

Especially so young.

Suddenly, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he almost couldn't close his mouth with a smile. The head of the acting department also laughed when he saw this.

Get up and walk forward.

Cheng Xi, who had been stuck in the editing room for another four or five days, finally finished his work.

The film was roughly cut to 110 minutes!

Both Cheng Xi and Brother Liu are quite satisfied with this version.

In addition to rough-cutting the first version, Cheng Xi also specially edited a promotional MV.

Some of the materials in it are just right for the ending song that Cheng Xi is going to make next.

The main part is done, and now all that’s left is the music, dubbing and color grading.

First, make a finished film, and then gather everyone together to watch it.

Except for the ending song, Cheng Xi plans to leave the rest to professionals.

It is easy to find connections now with the strength of the four companies, and Cheng Xi’s bids are all market prices.

Both companies they found were first-class film score companies, so Cheng Xi felt relieved.

Then we will look at their finished products and decide who to choose.

When Cheng Xi came out of the editing room, he took out his cell phone.

Prepare to respond to recent messages.

Cheng Xi's phone has been receiving messages non-stop lately.

I just muted it and put it aside, and except for special circumstances, I would call the editing room directly.

Cheng Xi will not answer any other calls.

I first responded to the blessing messages from my parents and relatives.

Then there were greetings from some good friends I used to know, and even many of their names that I was about to forget.

After all, compared to Cheng Xi, it was a memory from decades ago.

As for those you are not familiar with, just deal with them silently.

Then came the news about Rebanna Zha Tianai and the others.

Finally, when I saw Shuangzi and Datiantian’s expressions of surprise, I felt mischievous and teased them.

【Koala (Shuangzi): ??? ???】

[Cheng Xi: Do you know what Ren Woxing's sister's name is? ]

What's your name?

【Call me Renwoshuang. 】

When I called you Shuangzi, you were so mean, I would be sorry if I didn't mock you.

[Jing Tian: Junior brother, you are actually really drunk! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ]

[Jing Tian: Why didn’t you say so earlier! ! ? ?]

Cheng Xi: Sweetie, I told you so.

[Jing Tian: Don’t call me Xiao Tiantian, call me Senior Sister.]

Cheng Xi: Okay, Sister Sweetie.

Jing Tian:

[Jing Tian: Consider me next time if there's a good role.]

【Cheng Xi: I will consider you even if there is no role.】

Jing Tian saw Cheng Xi's reply and thought:

Is this flirting with me? It should be flirting with me, right?
But I heard this junior fellow is quite lecherous.
The studio is full of beautiful girls.

After teasing the two of them, Cheng Xi returned to the studio immediately.

Listened to the recent work report of the studio.

Also let Li Wentao arrange the time for Zhou Ye and Zhu Yilong as soon as possible.

Two days later.

During these two days, the film's soundtrack, actor dubbing, color grading and other work were carried out simultaneously.

In addition to writing the ending song for the movie, Cheng Xi also went to Mahua.

Mahua's skit lived up to expectations in the CCTV Skit Competition, received positive reviews from the audience, and won the second prize.

Thinking of this, Cheng Xi felt that it was a very correct decision to cut the Gordian knot and acquire Mahua.

The talent in this team is completely self-sufficient, with content output, actors, and management and operations.

Unlike studios, there is a shortage of content creators.

This is also the next direction that Cheng Xi is thinking about. It is impossible for him, the boss, to always be the only one fighting on the front line.

I should be the one who is at the bottom of the box.

After Mahua won the award this time, Zuibai Studio also successfully made it possible for Spring Festival Gala director Ha Wen to see Mahua's team.

I agree that they should organize the program application and submit it as soon as possible, but it will definitely take some time to determine whether it will be accepted in the end.

But this is definitely one step closer to performing on the Spring Festival Gala.

"Manager Liu, Shen Teng, Peng Damo, and you all did a great job."

"If we can perform on the Spring Festival Gala, everyone involved in the creation will get a big red envelope! Keep up the hard work!"

In addition to the matter of fried dough twists, Cheng Xi also dealt with the house matters.

The house was simply renovated two months ago, and it should be well ventilated now.

So I asked an assistant in the studio to simply equip it with some furniture.

Just use it as a temporary solution.

When you move in, you can just buy whatever you want if you see any missing.

Anyway, I'm just a rough guy and I don't care about that much.

After finishing all this, Zhou Ye and Zhu Yilong's schedule was also arranged, so Cheng Xi started recording again.

As soon as Zhou Ye saw Cheng Xi, he jumped towards Cheng Xi.

Holding Cheng Xi tightly, he said happily:

"Cheng Xi, I miss you."

Well, it seems that it is really difficult to marry women from Sichuan and Chongqing.

It's all labor and hard work every day.
I am the father, okay?

"I missed you. How's it going? Did you make any new friends at school?"

"No, they're all too stupid. They're all just little kids. They can't get along with an old actor like me."

In fact, Cheng Xi had also heard that Zhou Ye was now a big shot in the class.

He has a lot of soldiers under his command.

The teachers couldn't do anything about her.

He is so naughty.

I acted in a big movie and spent every day with Cheng Xi and the others.

Zhou Ye can no longer play with other children.

Cheng Xi didn't know whether this was good or bad.

The ending song "The Man Who Plants Stars" recorded today has the lyrics of "Farewell" interspersed in the middle.

In his previous life, Cheng Xi was really touched every time he listened to it.

In the movie, Xiaowen thinks that Mo Sanmei and the others are the ones who plant stars, because everyone who leaves becomes a star in the sky.

Especially when combined with the content of the drama, it makes people burst into tears.

It's easy to think of deceased loved ones.

"Twinkle, twinkle star,
Which one is your eye?

Pieces of clouds,
Floating in the sky and falling into my heart."

Zhou Ye's milky voice came from inside.

Although she speaks Sichuan and Chongqing dialects very well, she later moved to Guangzhou with her parents.

So the Mandarin is okay, without the feel of Trump or Guangpu.

"Zhou Ye, enunciate more slowly, don't rush. Give every sentence enough emotion."

Cheng Xi listened and corrected Zhou Ye at the same time.

Looking at Zhou Ye sitting in the recording studio and singing like a little kid, suddenly some interesting ideas invaded Cheng Xi's mind.

But let’s wait until we finish arranging the movie.

"Flowers one by one,
Planted in the heart, it bears full of crystals.

As long as you are willing to believe,
You are the one who plants the stars.”

Zhu Yilong's singing made Cheng Xi feel like he had met Sister Mi and Dapeng.

Not as good as Ye Zi's singing.

This made Cheng Xi feel a bit overwhelmed.

Good things will only come to those who wait.

Fortunately, he didn't say much.

Add some mixing later and it shouldn't be a problem.

Anyway, no one is here to listen to him sing.

The chorus of "Farewell" was already filmed when we were shooting a group scene with children in kindergarten.

Because of her good image, Zhao Lusi performed well during training.

Cheng Xi also gave her the small C position.

A few days later, the recording was completed.

Cheng Xi can finally rest for a day or two and wait for the work progress in other places to catch up.

Finally, of course, he did not forget what Nazha said:

"My cat can really do backflips."
