Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 314 Ziyi, you must hold on to Director Cheng's thighs
Cheng Xi, Meng Ziyi and three others were walking on the small path in the college.

All kinds of curiosity chirped out of their mouths, just like sparrows.

Wang Yifei: "Brother, I heard that you were admitted to the Management Department. Why didn't you choose the Directing Department?"

Cheng Xi: "I'm nostalgic. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even be admitted to graduate school."

The four beautiful young girls all covered their mouths and laughed.

Many people nearby looked over here with envy.

Girls envy Meng Ziyi and the others, and boys envy Director Cheng.

Xu Hao: "Brother, has The Mermaid wrapped filming? I can't wait to watch it!"

Cheng Xi: "Almost done, almost finished."

Lin Zi: "Brother, there's a new southern food stall in the cafeteria. I'm sure you'll like it."

When Cheng Xi heard this, he looked at the tallest girl, who was also the oldest girl in their dormitory.

This is how normal brothers and sisters chat. It would be great if everyone could chat like this.

Asking about movies right away is no different from what happens outside.

So Xiaoxiao replied:
"Then we'll go eat later. Can you treat me?"

When Lin Zi heard this, he almost jumped up with joy and said quickly:
"I'll treat you, thank you, Senior Brother!"

Cheng Xi laughed again. This kid not only treated me to a meal but also thanked me.

It’s better to be a director.

If it were an ordinary schoolmate, he might have been licking her eagerly.

See if she's in a good mood and can have a meal together.

Meng Ziyi was closest to Cheng Xi, and she walked with her twin ponytails bouncing one high and one low:

"Brother, I recently tried Honor of Kings. I think it's more fun than League of Legends! But my phone screen is a little small, and I feel like I can't touch anything."

At the beginning of September, the 9 version of Honor of Kings was almost completed.

Because I am definitely looking at it from the perspective of the original version, and I can play League of Legends, so I definitely can't make an evaluation as a novice would for the first time.

So he sent it to some friends around him to try it out.

The small screen was indeed a problem in 2014.

If the characters and interface are further reduced in size, it will lose a lot of interest.

All I can say is that we can see if we can make the skill positions and the equipment purchasing positions a little bigger.

We will accumulate the first batch of users in the next six months, and then large-screen mobile phones will gradually increase in number next year.

I looked at the time. It was already 11:12 and Cao Jinnan would not finish class until o'clock.

Although he mainly works in administration, he still takes a few general education courses on ideology and politics.

It can be considered as a way to make some quick money and gain some teaching experience.

So Cheng Xi invited the four 18-year-old girls to have lunch in the cafeteria.

Of course, Cheng Xi couldn't really let his junior sister treat him to a meal.

I tried the new stall opened by a southern boss, and it tasted really good and quite authentic.

When everyone separated, Cheng Xi thought for a moment and said:
"There's a group scene the day after tomorrow. If you four are willing, you can make a cameo appearance. It'll only be a few seconds."

When the four roommates of Meng Ziyi heard that they could have a guest appearance in "The Mermaid", they were very surprised and agreed.

After all, even if there is no camera, being able to go to the set to watch my senior brothers filming and see Stephen Chow is a very valuable experience.

Maybe I can even include it in my resume later.

"Okay, then it's settled. Ziyi, you'll be in charge of contacting Deng Jie."

"Okay, thank you, senior brother!"

After dinner, Cheng Xi went straight to Lao Cao’s new office.

He was already waiting there.

As soon as he came in, after a few greetings, Cheng Xi looked around.

"Director Cao's new office is fine, but it's missing a couplet on the back, which doesn't reflect the scholarly atmosphere of teaching and educating people. I happen to have an extra couplet here, so I'll have Deng Jie deliver it to you tomorrow."

Previously, Cao Jinnan’s office was occupied by four people.

Now that it's a single room, of course I can personalize it.

"Hahaha, it's definitely not as grand as your office. But I just happened to have the idea of ​​hanging a calligraphy scroll, and since you're giving it to me, I won't refuse."

After drinking some tea, Cao Jinnan said:

"Come on, I'll take you back to the dorm to see your new roommate."

At that time, the school said that it would provide Cheng Xi with a single room, but Cheng Xi did not agree because it was too special.

If you want to sleep alone, just go back to the family building.

And having roommates to chat with and talk about school matters is a normal campus life.

Because the Film Academy occupies a very small area, dormitories are actually in short supply.

For example, the graduate students in the Department of Management did not have dormitories before and all lived outside.

The limited dormitory places are basically allocated to important departments such as the Department of Directing and the Department of Acting.

This was the case with Guo Fan before. He rented a house on a commercial street not far from the college, which is the so-called "degenerate street" that every school has.

Basically, they are Internet cafes, small restaurants, hotels and residential houses for rent.

The environment is very ordinary, even a bit noisy.

If you want to attend class, you have to come in from outside, which is quite troublesome.

But now Cheng Xi is here, and the Management Department made a report and immediately approved the graduate dormitory.

There are only 20 people in the whole class, so four or five dormitories will be enough.

For this, we are all thanks to Cheng Xi.

When Cheng Xi arrived at the dormitory, he didn't expect it to be the undergraduate dormitory 302.

He looked back at Cao Jinnan in surprise.

"Haha, I have a surprise for you. I know you're nostalgic. The Management Department originally lived on this floor, and since you guys in rooms 302 have graduated, they just happened to be vacant, so we gave them directly to the new graduate students."

The dormitory door was open, and after saying that, Cao Jinnan took the lead and went straight in.

Cheng Xi looked at the new nameplate on the door of 302, and saw that there was still an old nameplate next to the corner that was not covered.

It should belong to me and the Crouching Dragon and the Phoenix, right?
I couldn't help but sigh when I thought about this.

It's true that the school is permanent but the students are transient.

As soon as Cao Jinnan entered, two students stood up and said:
"Hello, Director Cao!"

Cao Jinnan smiled and greeted:

"Hello everyone, let me introduce your roommate, Cheng Xi. Welcome everyone!"

Cheng Xi scratched his head and said, "Old Cao, isn't this a bit exaggerated?"

I need to keep a low profile, so that I can be separated from the people.

Just as he finished speaking, a tall and burly boy squeezed in through the door.

He was carrying a few take-out boxes and muttering:

"My adopted sons, I brought you some food. Cao is such a jerk. He told us to wait for him because he had something to do. I'm starving."

Everyone: "."

After saying that, I felt something was wrong, as if it was unusually quiet.

At this time, Lao Cao also turned around and looked at the tall man.

There was obvious anger in his eyes.

Cheng Xi was also speechless.

However, after Lao Cao became the deputy director, the bureaucratic style was further strengthened.

So he quickly pulled Lao Cao, who was about to scold the student, and took the initiative to say:
"Hello everyone, I'm your roommate Cheng Xi. I'm late, and I apologize to everyone."

"How about we all eat first! Lao Cao, why don't you go back first so I can get to know my roommates."

When Cao Jinnan heard what Cheng Xi said, he didn't stay any longer.

"Okay, then you guys get familiar with it. Feel free to come to me if you need anything."

After Cao Jinnan left, the three roommates looked at Cheng Xi curiously.

This is the legendary Teacher Zuibai, the famous Director Cheng.

Apart from the temperament, there is nothing particularly different.

When they first arrived at the school and learned that they would be sharing a dormitory with Cheng Xi, they were all excited.

The whole class, the whole department and the whole school envied them.

But school has been going on for almost a month, and I haven’t seen anyone.

However, a beautiful woman came over and helped him pack his things.

Unexpectedly, Director Cao Jinnan told them today that there was something important and asked them to wait in the dormitory.

That's it.

Well, a famous director is a famous director, and he puts on such a grand show.

But graduate students are not like undergraduates, they are more mature.

Next, they took the initiative to introduce themselves. It was obvious that despite some minor incidents, everyone was still willing to have a good relationship with Cheng Xi.

"My name is Xiao Lin, and I'm from northern Zhejiang."

"My name is Yao Ruoxu, and I'm from Ice City."

"My name is Guan Shan, and I'm from Yanjing."

Cheng Xi looked at the big guy named Guan Shan, and I said, why is he a bit reckless, directly calling Cao Jinnan by his surname Cao.

It turned out to be a Beijing gentleman.

At this time, Cheng Xi looked at the League of Legends screen on Yao Ruoxu's computer and said:

"Do you guys like playing League of Legends too? How about we play a few games together?"

Xiao Lin's eyes lit up. Nothing could make boys feel more familiar with each other than playing games and drinking together.

So I quickly said, "Sure, but the process director doesn't seem to have brought a computer."

Cheng Xi: "Don't call me Director Cheng. We are all roommates. Just call me by my name."

Yao Ruoxu: "That's fine. Director Cheng, you can use my computer. I'm new to it and don't know how to use it. I'll watch you guys fight."

Cheng Xi also intends to build relationships with everyone.

After all, we are in the same dormitory and everyone is so respectful to us, which is really awkward.

The former Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chicks are still the best, each of them is a talent.

In the following games, Cheng Xi played well in several situations.

Everyone gradually became familiar with each other under the catalysis of League of Legends.

Guan Shan and the others also discovered that Cheng Xi was not such a pretentious person.

Just like us young people, we will curse and swear when playing games, and we will feel excited and nervous.

Unconsciously, Cheng Xi's relationship with them gradually became closer.

When Deng Jie arrived, he brought a lot of food for everyone according to Cheng Xi's instructions.

And after bringing a gaming laptop to the dormitory, everyone had even more fun.

The three of them were thinking: This roommate seems pretty good!
As for how Deng Jie came to power, it was of course due to Cheng Xi’s current “imperial privilege”.

Cheng Xi only spent one day on campus.

I immediately returned to the crew in Yanjing to continue filming the tail part of "The Mermaid".

Cheng Xi and Stephen Chow both watched the sample films sent by the special effects company.

The production is quite good, even more exquisite and realistic than the original.

This time, Cheng Xi invited the best special effects company in the country to cooperate with Hollywood to jointly create the special effects for "The Mermaid".

It was a big expense.

Cheng Xi doesn't want to be criticized for his cheap special effects.

And now it is competing with "Transformers 4" and Hollywood blockbusters in terms of public opinion.

If the special effects are bad, then it would be a slap in the face.

Therefore, Cheng Xi also joined forces with investors to add 30 million yuan in funds.

Among them, 20 million will be spent on special effects, and 10 million will be spent on publicity.

Today's main shoot was the opening scene where Liu Xuan and Ruolan were filming in Qingluo Bay.

Meng Ziyi and others also came.

Serving as a supporting role in front of various real estate tycoons.

You can see that they are all very excited.

"Brother, I'm so nervous, what should I do?"

"It's okay, stay calm, show your socialite demeanor, and don't bring shame to our film academy."

Of course, Cheng Xi was joking with them. Except for Meng Ziyi who was more conspicuous in the auctioneer's seat in the front row, Lin Zi arranged the role of holding the sign.

The shots of the other two are off-center.

I can't see any acting skills.

But it's just a show of face, and the money I get is the fee of a special actor.

During the break, Cheng Xi even asked for Stephen Chow's autograph for them.

"Your group of junior sisters are all very cute. And that Meng Ziyi, did she audition for a mermaid before?"

It’s no wonder that Stephen Chow has a sharp eye. He remembered Meng Ziyi after watching her once.

"Yes, they are all your fans. They came here specially to see how Stephen Chow films."

After saying that, Stephen Chow also laughed and signed his autograph for them neatly.

He also took the initiative to take a photo with them.

It can be seen that no matter how old a man is, he likes beautiful young women.

Not to mention that they are just college students in the same dormitory.

Stephen Chow’s good manners made them all very happy.

Cheng Xi could also understand it, as this generation, including himself, basically grew up watching Stephen Chow's movies.

There are very few people who are not fans of Stephen Chow.

In particular, Stephen Chow said a few words to Meng Ziyi:
"Ziyi, right? Hold on tight to Director Cheng. I'm very optimistic about you."

Hearing this, Meng Ziyi looked at Cheng Xi with starry eyes.

I couldn't suppress the smile on my lips.

Cheng Xi also remained silent and responded with a smile.

After they left, Stephen Chow suddenly teased Cheng Xi:
"Director Cheng, we're in the same dormitory. I'm so envious of you."

"Hahaha, I envy Master Xing too."

"I understand. If a man does not indulge in romance during his youth, he will live in vain."

It seems that Stephen Chow has discovered something. He is not as cruel as the legend says.

So Cheng Xi has nothing to be ashamed of about this.

What's wrong with one dormitory? I didn't say I could handle them all.

While reshooting the "Mermaid" scenes, time quickly arrived on September 9th.

"Ghost Blows Out the Light: Mojin: The Lost Tomb" has officially hit theaters.

This marked the beginning of the fierce competition among the National Day movies.

Cheng Xi and Guo Fan each led a team to various cities for roadshows.

This time, Jing Tian followed Cheng Xi openly for a week.

So that I don’t have to keep saying that I’m not with her.

Donuts made for a beautiful and happy week.

"The Mojin: The Lost Tomb" received the biggest screening schedule thanks to the powerful publicity campaign of the Zuibai series.

The box office was a complete sweep afterwards.

During the entire seven-day National Day holiday, "Black & White 2" grossed 1 million yuan.

"Dear" has a box office of nearly 2 million yuan. Its box office performance is average, but its reputation continues to rise.

After all, Cheng Xi has also seen this movie, and both the script and the actors' acting skills are very good.

Moreover, the intention also hits the pain points of the Chinese people.

Many people cried several times while watching the movie, and recommended it to their friends after watching it. It is considered a well-received movie.

His biggest competitor, "Lost in Thailand", which starred his old rivals Xu Zheng and Huang Bo, grossed 5 million yuan at the box office.

The box office is close to 7000 crores every day.

The peak is close to 100 million.

However, unlike "Dear", the box office is high but the reputation continues to decline.

The attacks on the Ning Hao, Xu Zheng and Huang Bo trio continue.

Especially the female group, who are very dissatisfied with the greasy, dirty jokes, shit, urine and fart reflected in the film.

Calling on sisters to go to Douban and give low scores.

The only film that was both a box office success and a critical success was "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Mojin".

This is a big IP suspense special effects movie produced by Zuibai Entertainment, produced and written by Cheng Xi, directed by Guo Fan, and starring Reba Zhu Yilong and Jing Tian.

As soon as it was released on September 9, it earned 30 million yuan at the box office on the same day.

On the first day of the National Day holiday, it grossed 1.8 million yuan, second only to "Transformers 4".

The total box office for the seven days of National Day reached 9 million yuan. Including September 9, the total box office has reached 30 billion yuan.

Another miracle of breaking 8 billion box office in 10 days.

Although it is still a little slower than Transformers 4.

But it has already crushed all the movies released during the National Day holiday and surpassed all domestic films.

Including Cheng Xi's "Detective Chinatown" and "Charlotte".

This time, industry insiders and audiences once again felt the power of "Zuibai's products must be high-quality."
