Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 215: Personally Training the Opponent

After a few days of excitement, Zuibai Chinese website and Zuibai Reading APP have become popular.

Although there are sporadic feedback from old users who are not used to the new UI interface, most book lovers still support it.

Especially with the launch of the APP, book lovers can finally read conveniently on their mobile phones.

It received unanimous praise.

In addition, Cheng Xi posted the first chapter of "The Hidden Corner" as a picture on Weibo.

If you want to read the second chapter and the sequel to the murder, you can go to Zuibai Chinese website.

Netizens commenting on the Weibo post all said that Zuibai had turned from an author into a "cunning capitalist."

Of course, Cheng Xi also knew that everyone was just teasing him in good faith.

Zuibai Entertainment also mobilized major celebrities to register accounts on Zuibai Chinese website and post pictures on Weibo.

By the way, blow your favorite book in it.

As a result, the number of registered users on Zuibai Chinese website has continued to rise in recent days.

"Boss, we've added 320 million new registered users in three days, 35% of whom are male!"

After hearing Li Wentao's report, Cheng Xi was in a good mood.

An average of more than 100 million new cases per day is enough.

When he took over the website, there were 1800 million registered users, 92% of whom were female.

But only one in ten is an active paying user.

There is no way, paid reading has always been difficult to do.

This added more than 300 million new members and directly broke through the million user mark.

Cheng Xi was not particularly clear about the subsequent development of Jingjiang.com in his previous life.

But he often uses Singularity to read books.

It is known that Singularity has about 2 million registered users and more than 800 million active paying users, and this data is from more than ten years later.

Therefore, the value of the data from Zuibai Chinese website gave Cheng Xi hope of overtaking others.

First consolidate the first place in female frequency and build a good IP.

Then slowly enter the male frequency track and get a piece of the pie.

Let Zuibai Chinese website become one of the top IP gold mines in China and the foundation of the big entertainment strategy.

This is Cheng Xi’s future goal.

Websites for male users are extremely rare, and paid ones are basically non-existent.

Therefore, no matter how much market share is captured, it is profitable, and the male market is a definite growth area for the website.

With the golden signboard of "Zuibai" to continuously attract customers, I believe we can gradually expand the market.

In this way, whether you want to get involved in the live broadcast track or video website field in the future, you can still seek cooperation.

They all have a certain degree of initiative.

After laying a solid foundation for this first step, Cheng Xi wants to enter the live broadcast and video website market next.

Both of these require a lot of money.

My current strength is far from enough.

YY is currently the closest live streaming platform, and it launched the YY live streaming channel last year.

When Cheng Xi first started playing League of Legends in his previous life, he watched game live broadcasts and tutorials on the YY live broadcast channel.

He still remembers the time when Dong Xiaosa sold meat floss pancakes and the time when the black shop Baidi would go AFK if he didn't get a single player.

It can be said to be the prototype of future live broadcast platforms.

However, YY has been repeatedly criticized because the live broadcast image resolution is only 480P.

Only after the emergence of competition from new live streaming platforms did YY Live begin to improve the picture quality.

Wang Sicong's Panda TV also failed after burning through 15 billion yuan.

But I have certain advantages in terms of connections in the entertainment industry.

Maybe you can take advantage of it.

There are many video websites now, but after the entry of Internet giants, some died and some were acquired.

In the end, only iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video, owned by the three giants of BAT, could divide the market into three parts.

In this area, it is simply unrealistic to compete with the giants.

They have hundreds of billions of funds, and I guess at most I am just an early investor.

Even if you create a new video website.

Its fate is either to be acquired or to be squeezed out by others with financial advantages.

But now that he has Zuibai Chinese Network, an IP incubator, in his hands, perhaps he can still have a place.

After all, "with IP in hand, there is no worry in the world."

In a few years, everyone will understand the value of this sentence.

"Boss, the next scene is the rivalry between Reba and Jing Tian. Do you want to come and watch?"

Just as Cheng Xi was thinking about future strategic plans in the lounge, Wen Muye came in and interrupted his thoughts.

These days I have been busy with the Chinese website and writing a new novel.

The basic filming work was left to Wen Muye.

Unless there are some important scenes and group scenes.

Cheng Xi would come over to check it out.

This is the benefit of having talented people to help you share the burden.

Once several directors have been trained, we will ask the original content department to get some scripts from the IP library so that they can make money for us.

Just focus on shooting some classic works.

"Okay, I'll be there in 10 minutes."

After his thoughts were interrupted by Wen Muye, Cheng Xi simply stopped thinking about it.

Let’s solve the current problem of lack of funds first.

If you have money, you will have more room to display your abilities.

Just wait for the opportunity when the time comes.

By the way, he also promoted his top artist Reba to create a head effect.

Otherwise, if people can’t think of any particularly famous traffic stars when talking about Zuibai Entertainment, that won’t work either.

After simply writing down the ideas he had just thought of on his laptop, Cheng Xi came out of the lounge.

Today's scene takes place in the hospital, where Lei Yiming is sick and hospitalized.

Gao Wen came to see him and happened to meet Mi Duo in the lobby.

So Gao Wen questioned Mi Duo and Lei Yiming about their unclear relationship.

Gao Wen (Reba):

"I didn't expect you to keep lying to me. It turns out you and Lei Yiming have known each other for a long time."

"I always thought I was an actor, but I didn't expect you to be the one."

Mi Duo (Jing Tian):

"No, Gao Wen, Lei Yiming and I have known each other for a long time, and I didn't hide it from you on purpose."

"But we are just simple friends, we have never been in a relationship, and he has always liked you."

Gao Wen: "You're still lying. What I hate most is taking trust and turning it into deception."

Mi Duo: "Gao Wen, you must believe me."

In this scene, Cheng Xi used a medium shot and a close shot.

There are also close-ups of each person individually.

For ordinary forward and reverse shots, the principle of camera operation is very simple.

It mainly depends on how the actors interpret their emotions.

"Reba, your lines are powerful enough, and your aggressiveness is also good. But you should also express disappointment, anger, and grievance."

"Jing Tian, ​​you're the one being questioned. It's not enough to just speak softly. You also need to feel guilty and ashamed, because part of what Gao Wen said is true."

"Okay, everyone, take your positions and do it again as just requested."

"Crack! Still no use. Like this, everyone rest here for ten minutes."

After the fifth NG, Cheng Xi came between the two of them.

He first called Reba into the dressing room next door.

Although this is a hospital, many of the rooms are actually empty.

The parts that do not enter the camera are used for montage, and the parts that enter the camera are arranged.

The other rooms were empty and used by the crew as dressing rooms and lounges.

"Brother, did I not perform well in that scene just now?"

As soon as I came in, I saw that my brother wanted to discuss the play with me alone.

Reba asked a little unconfidently.

"The acting is actually OK, but the emotions aren't realistic or three-dimensional enough. It's perfectly acceptable in a TV series. But you have to treat this as your masterpiece and polish every frame."

Cheng Xi emphasized these things to Reba before filming started, so Reba also had high demands on herself.

Her intentions can be seen in the script.

Reba also wanted to interpret the birthday gift her brother gave her well.

"Let me give you an example. Suppose you are my brother's wife, but your best friend and I are together. What would you do?"

Reba didn't expect her brother to mention the wife, best friend, etc., and she was a little confused for a moment.

But after thinking about it, he said, "I will be very angry and question her, just like the scene just now."

"No, this is just the first layer of emotion. You haven't fully immersed yourself in it yet. So, who is your best friend?"

"Naza."

"Yes, just think of it as Nazha and I having sex and you found out. What would you do then, besides getting angry and questioning?"

Reba blinked her big, kazilan eyes at Cheng Xi and said:

"There will probably still be heartache, disappointment, and grievance."

"Yes, this is the real emotion. After all, both of them have feelings for you. So what then? What will happen between you and Nazha?"

Cheng Xi was trying to commit suicide on the tightrope.

"I might break up with Nazha, but I'll be a little reluctant."

"Well, what happened in the end?"

"In the end, I will also be reluctant to leave my brother."

"Oh."

"So would you choose two, one, or zero?"

"I don't know, but what I do know is that I will never leave my brother no matter what."

When Cheng Xi heard this, he didn't know what to think.

Instead, I put myself in Jingtian's role and felt a little guilty.

Fortunately, the two of them have not confirmed their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend. If they had, what should I do?

"Brother, why do I feel like you're so serious?"

Reba’s acting skills are becoming more and more sophisticated, and she is becoming more and more sensitive to people’s emotions.

I always feel that my brother is not talking about the play alone.

"Well, let's talk about the play. Brother is bringing you into the play. It's normal for you to feel confused. In the end, you will definitely feel confused."

"Because you have feelings for each other, you know?"

"I see. No wonder I kept getting NGs. My expression was too shallow."

"Well, you should think about the feelings you just had and try to get through them again later."

"Okay, brother."

Reba nodded while thinking:
Brother, you are not serious, right?
I'll have to ask Nazha later.

Cheng Xi didn't know what Reba was thinking about now.

After he finished explaining the play to Reba, he took Jingtian to the dressing room to explain it to her alone.

Jing Tian actually felt the pressure at this time. She felt that her performance was not even as good as that of her sophomore junior.

This made her a little insecure.

I even feel a little disappointed.

She has acted in so many movies, but she is still not as good as her sophomore sister who has just starred in a TV series.

This shouldn't happen at all!
Jing Tian: "Junior brother, why is Junior Sister Reba's acting so good?"

Cheng Xi: "Because I have thought about it seriously, and I have trained him well."

Jing Tian: "Then can you teach me a lesson too?"

Cheng Xi thought, I am just teasing and training her.

Hearing Jing Tian say this, Cheng Xi remembered the job he had asked her to come in for, so he said:

"Senior Sister, your momentum just now was weak. You didn't grasp the essence of this scene."

"For example, Reba and I are a couple, but our relationship is unclear. Now she comes to you to ask for an explanation. How do you feel?"

"Uh, Junior Brother"

"Why do I feel like there's something else behind your words?"

"Be serious, I'm talking to you about the play. Don't you want me to teach you a lesson?"

"I don't feel anything. I didn't do anything. I'm not afraid of her."

Cheng Xi: “.”

I've already said what if, but you're still so stubborn!

You have to force me to use my ultimate move, right?

So Cheng Xi directly hugged Jing Tian, ​​who was still arguing, into his arms.

Kissed.

Cheng Xi really likes his senior sister’s sweet little tongue.

One word:

Very sweet.

Two words:
Soft and sweet.

For a long time, the lips are divided.

"now what?"

"Now? You forced me to do this. I'm innocent. I'm not afraid of her."

Cheng Xi: “.”

Cheng Xi had no choice but to do it again.

"now what?"

"Do it again."

Sweetie, you're addicted, right?

Reba and the crew are still waiting outside for us to go out and perform.

Cheng Xi: "Not coming."

Jing Tian: "The last time."

Without waiting for Cheng Xi's consent, Xiao Tiantian came up on her own initiative.

Forgive Cheng Xi for being careless.

After the kiss, Cheng Xi said:

"I didn't force you to do this, did I? When you go out and act with Reba later, think about how you just forcefully kissed me."

After explaining the play to Xiao Tiantian in person, the two came out of the dressing room.

Reba didn't suspect anything because her brother had just explained the scene to her.

I think the methods are similar, both are based on the plot adjustment.

My brother is really strict.

Cheng Xi saw that everyone had almost rested.

So he sat back in front of the monitor and shouted "action".

This game started for the sixth time.

"I always thought I was an actor, but I didn't expect you to be the one."

"No, Gao Wen, Lei Yiming and I have known each other for a long time, and I didn't hide it from you on purpose."

Now I feel much better.

It has the texture of acting.

The performance is over.

Cheng Xi: "Ka! Remember what I just emphasized to you, each of you should get into the state and go a little deeper!"

When Jing Tian heard Cheng Xi say to go deeper, she always felt that she was brainwashed by him.

It seemed like he was really dating Reba, and I was the one having an affair with Cheng Xi.

But thinking about it, it seems a bit exciting.

And the person in front of me is Reba.

Obviously the emotional state is more in place.

After filming this scene, Jing Tian was a little confused about what was happening both inside and outside the play.

Cheng Xi and Wen Muye felt that this time it was obviously much better.

Reba's emotions are more three-dimensional, and Jingtian's feelings of stealing and weakness are very well-placed.

This way, the two people's emotions just boost each other.

Bring each other into the emotions of the play.

It was as if both of them had entered the situation Cheng Xi had laid out:

One of them mistook the person opposite him for Nazha, while the other remembered what his junior brother had just said.

Both of them clearly felt that the other's acting skills had improved significantly.

Thus, a virtuous cycle of mutual competition begins!
After this time, Cheng Xi said excitedly:
"Click. This is good, passed!"

Wen Muye saw the good effect and asked curiously:
"Boss, how did you train them? You can get such good results in just ten minutes!"

In order to train capable people for the future, Cheng Xi did not hide it:
"Acting is something that only works if you practice it yourself and get trained personally."

When Wen Muye heard this, he nodded as if he suddenly understood.
"Boss, I learned it!"

In fact, Wen Muye didn’t quite understand what it meant to teach in person.

But you have to learn to flatter your boss.

Otherwise, when will my 500 million filming fund be available?
