Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 287 Seeing the old man again
The lesson has been learned.

But it was just a simple scratch.

"Hahaha, Cheng Xi, I beg for mercy, please stop scratching me. Hahaha."

"Do you still dare?"

"Ahaha, you still dare!"

Cheng Xi: “.”

This requires increasing efforts.

So the two sides quarreled for a while, and Cheng Xi let Zhou Ye go after she begged for mercy.

Cheng Xi still has some sense in this regard.

Not that beastly.

You have to wait at least two years.

Let’s talk about it after she turns 18.

……

4:10 p.m.

Cheng Xi and his group arrived at Huairou Film and Television City twenty minutes early.

As soon as I got off the car, I saw the sign of the film and television city.

It made Cheng Xi feel like he was back in his freshman year filming "Never Expected".

At that time, I and Yi Xiaoxing tried every possible way to save money.

However, due to lack of experience, the budget was overspent.

Originally, Cheng Xi was planning to use the copyright of the book as collateral to borrow money.

But he didn't expect that people from two dormitories would come to visit the set and take the initiative to raise tens of thousands of yuan for Cheng Xi to film the movie.

It can be regarded as a solution to an urgent need.

Now I see that the brand is still the same brand, it hasn't changed at all.

But things and people have changed here.

Fortunately, everything is moving in a positive direction.

Now I will never be short of money and worry about tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.

But at that time, I felt like there was a fire in my heart that I had to do this well.

I feel happy every day when I make a little progress.

The crew that came to greet Cheng Xi included an assistant director and several stagehands.

"Director Cheng, I'm sorry, Director Tian and Binbin are filming right now."

Cheng Xi didn't care, as he had already arrived 20 minutes early.

It is not convenient for the crew to keep waiting for me.

Tian Zhuangzhuang is also a highly respected senior director and a fifth-generation director.

I have met and talked with him before.

"It's okay, Director Hu, please lead the way. I'll go to the crew and learn some filming techniques from Teacher Tian."

This is not modesty. Cheng Xi is not so arrogant as to think that he is invincible.

Box office is box office, and directing techniques are directing techniques.

It's just a matter of specialization.

"Director Cheng is too modest! We all admire you very much. 'Life Events' and 'Detective Chinatown' are so well made!"

Cheng Xi looked at Deputy Director Hu, who seemed a little flattering towards him.

I couldn't help but smile.

Don't hit someone who smiles at you, and what he said is not wrong.

Not long after walking, Cheng Xi and his group arrived at the shooting location.

Several drivers also drove up to follow.

Cheng Xi did not disturb Tian Zhuangzhuang, but watched Fan Binbin acting.

It looks like a rivalry with Ning Jing.

Just when Cheng Xi felt that Fan Binbin's acting was more natural than in "Empress Wu Mei Niang", Tian Zhuangzhuang's voice suddenly came:

"Click."

"What's wrong with the maid on the left? Why isn't she saying her lines? Don't be distracted during filming."

At this time, Assistant Director Hu quickly ran to the monitor and said to Tian Zhuangzhuang:
"Director, Director Cheng Xi has arrived."

Tian Zhuangzhuang, who was originally a little unhappy, heard that Cheng Xi was coming.

He immediately seemed a little excited. He still liked this student director from the Management Department very much.

After chatting several times, the impression became better and better, so I said:
"You explain the play to that palace maid. I'll go and receive Director Cheng."

Then he picked up the intercom and announced:
"Everyone take a half-hour break. Teachers Binbin, Ningjing, and Wu Gang, please come over here."

In fact, Fan Binbin had already noticed Cheng Xi without the director calling out.

When he shouted "click", he greeted Cheng Xi.

And Cheng Xi also looked over there.

Saw an old friend.

She should have seen herself too.

So I forgot to say my lines.

Tian Zhuangzhuang: "Cheng Xi, thank you for taking the time to visit us on set! This is all thanks to Binbin!"

Fan Binbin: "It's Director Tian's honor. I called him for a long time but he didn't come. As soon as I told him you were there, he immediately agreed!"

This sentence made Tian Zhuangzhuang's old face wrinkle with laughter.

Ning Jing, who was standing by, finally interrupted and greeted Cheng Xi:
"Hello Director Cheng, long time no see."

It's been a while since we last met. The last time we met was at the Hundred Flowers Awards, when I snatched away the Best Supporting Actress award from Zhang Tianai.

Wu Gang: "Hello, Director Cheng."

Cheng Xi looked at Wu Gang in ancient costume, his eyes lit up, and he almost blurted out "Secretary Dakang".

I always thought that Secretary Dakang was a nobody before, but I didn’t expect that he would start to act in a big-budget movie as a national master now.

It's true that veteran actors aren't made in a day. "Hello, Teacher Tian, ​​Sister Ning Jing, and Teacher Wu Gang, I'm so sorry to bother you today. I just watched the play you rehearsed and I learned a lot!"

Zhou Ye also cleverly emerged from behind Cheng Xi and greeted everyone:

"Hello Sister Binbin, Hello Sister Ningjing, Hello Uncle Wu, Hello Grandpa Tian!"

This caused the four of them to burst into laughter.

Just as everyone was about to exchange a few more pleasantries, Cheng Xi heard a burst of scolding coming from the set:
"What's wrong with you? I finally agreed to let you in. What play are you in? You even forgot your lines!"

"You're a graduate of the Beijing Film Academy, but with your acting skills, I can even bring a monkey to you and perform better than you. If you do it again, you'll be the one to get out!"

Cheng Xiwang went over and saw Deputy Director Hu scolding a palace maid who had just forgotten her lines.

It's very common for directors to scold actors on the set.

So no one took it seriously.

But Fan Binbin and the others noticed that Cheng Xi had been paying attention to that side and sighed slightly.

"Director Tian, ​​the little palace maid who forgot her lines is my friend."

"what?"

Tian Zhuangzhuang seemed to be unable to react for a moment.

"friend?"

"Yes."

After Cheng Xi nodded again, Tian Zhuangzhuang immediately came to the set.

The assistant director and the young palace maid were called over.

"Director, I won't go over there, okay?"

"Come together, why didn't you tell us that you knew Cheng Xi?"

When the assistant director next to him heard what Tian Zhuangzhuang said, he immediately looked at the little palace maid with wide eyes.

It was his approval that she could come in as a special guest actress and play the role of a palace maid beside Fan Binbin.

If she hadn't looked pretty, this role would definitely not have been given to her.

She doesn't have any background.

Not to mention knowing Cheng Xi.

But it seems that they both are from the Film Academy, maybe they really know each other?
Cheng Xi looked at the person in front of him, and the long-lost memories before his rebirth came back again.

Director Tian and the assistant director quickly brought the little palace maid to Cheng Xi.

The little palace maid lowered her head very low, as if she didn't want to be recognized by Cheng Xi.

But she finally chose to speak while tugging at the maid's clothes:

"Hello, Cheng Chengxi."

"Shiyue, long time no see."

Everyone saw that the little palace maid really knew Director Cheng.

And call the name directly.

Fan Binbin even blinked, his eyes moving back and forth between the two of them.

A gossipy look.

Zhou Ye even came between the two of them and looked at her with a bit of hostility.

Cheng Xi knew that Qin Shiyue was very embarrassed now, because he had recognized her before.

I just didn't say it to save face.

But it does make me feel uncomfortable when I hear someone scolding me.

After all, we are classmates, and I had borrowed 1 yuan from him to support the filming of the movie.

When Cheng Xi was filming "The Empress of China", he wanted Qin Shiyue to play a cameo role.

But at that time Bai Xue came and said that Qin Shiyue had something to do.

After that, he never mentioned looking for me to take on the role.

It's a bit like hiding from myself.

But Bai Xue even joked with herself and asked for a few supporting roles.

No matter what she thought, since she had encountered it, she had to say a word to help.

"Shiyue is my old junior high school classmate."

Cheng Xi explained to everyone, then turned to Qin Shiyue:
"I just happened to be visiting the set, I didn't know you were here."

Qin Shiyue nodded.

Cheng Xi didn't talk much afterwards, but asked the company people to take out all the gifts they brought when visiting the set.

A food truck also drove in.

It's almost five o'clock now, so it's time to add a few dishes to the crew and actors' lunch boxes.

Of course, people of Fan Binbin and Tian Zhuangzhuang's status have their own separate meals.

The crew members are clearly divided into different levels.

Food, clothing and other necessities are completely different.

Originally, Tian Zhuangzhuang wanted to invite Cheng Xi to a restaurant, but Cheng Xi said it was too far and inconvenient.

Let’s eat here together.

Cheng Xi: "Visiting the set would have delayed everyone's filming progress, so we can just have a simple meal."

Qin Shiyue: "I, Cheng Xi, I'm going to get my lunch."

Tian Zhuangzhuang: "Xiao Qin, right? Don't bother, come and eat with us."

Hu Yong: "Yes, Xiao Qin, I'm sorry for what happened just now. I didn't know you were Director Cheng's classmate. I'm going to get my lunch, you can take my seat."

Assistant Director Hu Yong said this as he pulled Qin Shiyue to his seat.

That face full of smiles and attentive look.

It was as if the person who had just scolded her was someone else.

Qin Shiyue glanced at Cheng Xi, not knowing whether she should sit down.

At this time, Zhou Ye added:

"Qin Shiyue, since you know Cheng Xi, why don't you ask him to film with you?"
