Reborn as a little director

Chapter 22 Investment

Putting down the phone, Xie Siqing felt like he was a little nosy.

But, for some reason, Xie Siqing knows Zhong Yang quite well now.

Zhong Yang never let go of the failed work.

Zhong Yang is such a narcissist, he will not be willing to accept this result, and it is definitely not in his character to admit defeat.

If given the chance, he would definitely want to stand up and prove himself, directing one type of drama for the rest of his life would not be something he would like to do.

However, when suddenly faced with a decision, he hesitated again, fearing that he was not ready and would repeat the same mistakes at that time.

It was necessary to stimulate him just now.

The next day, Xie Siqing went to the video store.

He picked a few movies, and then gave Zhong Yang another call.

Xie Siqing asked, "Are you in the studio?"

"Just in time, what's the matter?"

"Then I'll go there."

"Now?"

"Ah."

"Call me when we arrive." Zhong Yang didn't ask Xie Siqing what he was going to do in the past.

Xie Siqing didn't intend to go in after arriving.

He handed a bag to Zhong Yang.

"What is it?" Zhong Yang asked.

Xie Siqing looked down at the bag: "It's a few comedies, all of which I like."

"..."

"They are similar in style to the story you told yesterday... I happen to have studied comedy, so I'll show it to you... Of course, these are all just my personal opinions."

"..."

"Maybe you've seen it too, maybe it's not like this, anyway, take it."

"Why did you bring these here?" Zhong Qing asked.

Xie Siqing replied: "As I said just now, they are similar to the stories you told yesterday... I don't know how you decide. If you plan to make that comedy, these films may give you some inspiration. The ones in them are particularly good. The approach and technique of the film should help your film... If you haven't already, then take a look at these too, and get your film in mind, what the final product will look like and how it relates to these Compared with movies, how do you have a concept and finally make a choice... Yesterday, what I said was too biased. In fact, only you know yourself best. The advice I give you cannot be better than your own decision. Appropriate, you believe in yourself, don't be influenced by me."

Zhong Yang said, "I'm asking, why do you do this for me?"

"Oh..." Xie Siqing said, "You have helped me several times. It was the first time that the microfilm competition guaranteed me to enter the finals, and the second time that the Xiaolongbao advertisement agreed to change candidates. I called Shao Yu and asked him to introduce me to Chi Wenyue. It's the third time. So I want to repay you as much as possible, hoping to help you break through the status quo, just like you did to me."

"Is it just because of this?" Zhong Yang asked.

"……Um?"

"never mind."

"Then I'm leaving?" Xie Siqing asked.

Zhong Yang glanced at the things in his hand: "Come in and have a look together."

"..."

After arriving at Zhong Yang's office, Zhong Yang pushed the disk into the computer.

"Would you like something to drink?" Zhong Yang asked.

"Need not……"

"Then have some tea."

"..."

The film began to be screened.

Xie Si watched quietly.

During the period, Zhong Yang seemed to have spoken a few words with him, but Xie Siqing didn't seem to pay attention to what Zhong Yang was saying, and just answered with words like "um" and "ah".

He gives 100% every time he watches his favorite movies.

It was not until the end of the movie that Xie Siqing turned to look at Zhong Yang: "What did you just say?"

"I forgot."

"Oh……"

Xie Siqing didn't care, reached for the mouse, and dragged the progress back to a place.

"Look here." Xie Siqing pointed, "Every time someone says something funny, they will give another shot to the listener, because this is what the audience wants to see."

Xie Siqing pushed the progress forward again: "Look here again..."

After talking bit by bit, Xie Siqing said again: "I have seen the director's interview, and his point of view is that actors should be real and natural, so he often handed actors a few minutes before shooting. This is a book with some added lines, and the added lines are the funniest, so that the actors still find these words very interesting during filming, so they will try their best to perform them. If they are given too much time to understand, they often seem to be Fake."

"Ah."

"He also thinks not to NG too much, it's better not to NG at all, because if there are too many retakes, the actors will get tired of the jokes and can't make that kind of feeling in the filming. ——Of course you don’t need to copy him, just It’s just that there is another way, you can try to find out how to do it better.”

Zhong Yang still said, "Yes."

Xie Siqing thought for a while, and then said: "He also said that the scene must be happy, and the depressive atmosphere will allow the actors to bring it into the role. Everyone must be happy, because this is contagious. If someone is not like this, Then he'd better take a rest."

Xie Siqing went to delay the progress of the movie again: "Look, the actors in this movie really acted very realistically."

While talking, Xie Siqing suddenly felt something was wrong.

He turned his head and was surprised to find that Zhong Yang was looking at his face.

"What do you see me doing?" Xie Siqing felt strange, "Look at the screen."

"Who's looking at you?" Zhong Yang quickly looked away, "You're being passionate."

"..."

He acted quite similarly, but Xie Siqing was not blind yet.

"Zhong Yang..." Xie Siqing looked at the screen again.

"Ok?"

Xie Siqing said: "Sometimes... I think you need a parenting teacher."

"..."

Xie Siqing originally thought that Zhong Yang would get angry, but he didn't.

Zhong Yang seemed to be thinking about something.

Before Xie Siqing thought about it carefully, Zhong Yang said: "Xie Siqing has filmed similar comedies."

"Yes." Xie Siqing said, "It's about the same. The box office is much better than that of the main drama."

The current audience still likes to watch comedies.

That comedy, to a large extent, was directed by Xie Siqing for the box office.

It's still because I want to make Chi Wen happier.

When I said to Zhong Yang, "I happen to have studied comedy", I was referring to that period of time.

"His style is quite suitable for this kind of comedy about humanity."

"Ah."

Zhong Yang asked, "Can you do it too?"

"Me?" Xie Siqing was stunned for a moment, "I think I can."

Zhong Yang said: "You come to be the assistant director, one, I will take this book."

"..."

Xie Siqing thought, this is definitely an opportunity for him, and Zhong Yangming knew that he would not refuse it.

Who would refuse something that would be of great benefit to both parties?

It's just that Zhong Yang's words are awkward no matter what he hears.

It was as if he joined the crew because of him.

"Okay." Xie Siqing thought for a while and said, "But at the same time, I will still find investors for my capital, is that okay?"

"It's okay if you want to withdraw at that time."

"That shouldn't be necessary..." Xie Siqing said, "This is not a big movie, and the production cycle will not be very long."

"Then it's settled." Zhong Yang said.

"it is good."

Then Zhong Yang suddenly went to get the mouse.

Xie Siqing hadn't had time to move his hand away.

Zhong Yang just pressed and moved the mouse with his hand, closing the movie he was watching before.

"..." Before Xie Siqing could withdraw his hand, Zhong Yang had already completed this operation, and moved his hand away first.
