Reborn as a little director

Chapter 74 Shooting

"You..." Xie Siqing looked at Zhong Yang and said, "What are you talking about. This is a movie directed by me, so of course I have to work hard. But... as the leading actor, you don't need to care about the affairs of other characters .”

"Yao, Shun and Yu..."

"what?"

Zhong Yang said inexplicably: "One day, not too long, we will win many great awards."

"...Well." Xie Siqing was a little confused, "Don't you think I'm unrealistic and ambitious?"

"why?"

"Everyone else said that." Every time he talked about this matter after his rebirth, many people would give him strange looks.

"Not at all." Zhong Yang said, "We can get it, and we must get it."

"... Oh." Xie Siqing still didn't understand why Zhong Yang said these words suddenly.

Zhong Yang stretched out his hand to bring Xie Siqing into his arms: "On the day when we get the Academy Awards, shall we hold hands on the stage?"

Xie Siqing didn't let the other party drag him.

He thought, this is the set, with so many people, someone might see it.

He had no idea what he had done that night.

Therefore, Xie Siqing just smiled and said to Zhong Yang: "...Okay."

"...Then we have a deal."

After finishing speaking, Zhong Yang also smiled: "Fortunately, the best foreign language film can be presented by many people together."

……

The scenes between Zhong Yang and Qiu Shi were the most difficult since filming started.

The two characters should complement each other, but Qiu Shi's acting skills can't keep up with Zhong Yang, which leads to Qiu Shi's bleakness, which makes people feel unbalanced.

However, because Zhong Yang tried to interpret the two roles at the same time from his point of view, after Qiu Shi further communicated with him, he gradually cleared his mind and understood how to perform a contrasting effect.

Zhong Yang shared a lot of things for Xie Siqing.

Xie Siqing thought, if Zhong Yang hadn't been so diligent, he would have asked Zhong Yang to cooperate with Qiu Shi to make concessions—as he had already said, because he really had no other choice.

When the shooting is over, the effect will definitely not be so good.

Xie Siqing once again felt that Zhong Yang could make him better.

Not just this time—this time it was more obvious because it was difficult.In this play, he and Zhong Yang can often give each other suggestions and inspire each other at the same time. For example, digging holes in the ground and putting lights is also the solution proposed by Zhong Yang.

In the past, before rebirth, Xie Siqing was thinking alone, many places were inevitably restricted, and it was impossible to find a way to break through.It's not that he didn't ask other people when he encountered a problem, but every time he got an answer, he didn't feel like his own style. Those things were not what he wanted to show, and there was obviously another person's strong personal brand.

But Zhong Yang is different.Zhong Yang has such a tacit understanding with him.Of course there will be differences between the two of them, and they will be very big, but both of them understand what the other wants, so they don't just see the problem from their own point of view.

This feeling... is really good.

After a while, they will shoot the last segment.

It becomes increasingly apparent that the protagonist feels the complete opposite of his partner.

Everyone seemed to like the partner very much, but he always seemed out of place.

He felt very painful, and he seemed unable to adapt to this new era in a traditional way.

He felt the conflict between tradition and modernity. During the rapid advancement of society in the previous 20 years, it seemed that many people failed to catch up with them.

This sense of disconnection from his environment confused him.

But he still chooses to follow his heart.

Until one day, he saw his wife with his partner.

The scene nearly broke him.

I always thought that the only person who supported him decided to leave him in the same way.

During a confrontation with his wife, he discovered the fact that he was schizophrenic.

It turned out that the partner was also himself.

He just imagined it was someone else.

He didn't know how to maintain the soul of the shop while actively adapting to the new world. The two seemed irreconcilable, so he cut off the secular part.

Finally, at the end of the film, the camera flashed strange people—old people, middle-aged people, and young people.

Everyone has experienced some of this confusion more or less.

The past 20 years have changed too much, so that most of the elderly are still living in the past-they don't know how to use the Internet or other high-tech.Middle-aged people are struggling to keep up with the pace of the times - learning computers, foreign languages, etc., and are often laughed at as stupid when learning.Young people, on the other hand, start to cherish the past prematurely, remembering the innocence and beauty of childhood in their memories.

How should the past and the present be connected?

Shouldn't it be trying to keep some sort of permanent undertone?

On this day, Zhong Yang needs to perform the part when he finds out that his "wife" is with someone else.

The kind of shock, anger, sadness, unwillingness, self-doubt, and self-denial will surprise anyone who sees it.Everyone will think, so, after being betrayed by the dearest person, will it be like this?

"The acting was very good." Xie Siqing said after the day was over.

Zhong Yang smiled: "Is there any reward?"

"No." Xie Siqing said, "This is your job."

"Work?" Zhong Yang disagreed, "Every company even gives bonuses to motivate employees."

"So what do you want?" Xie Siqing asked.

"...I don't know." Zhong Yang thought for a while, "I'll talk about it when I remember."

"……Um."

Then, for some reason, on the same day, Xie Siqing always felt that Zhong Yang was a little depressed.

Xie Siqing couldn't tell exactly where it showed up, but he really knew Zhong Yang so well that he could feel something was wrong with even a slight change, so he instinctively knew that Zhong Yang was a little depressed today.

He tried to make Zhong Yang happy and made a few jokes, but the effect was very small.

At night, Xie Siqing couldn't help it, so he looked at Zhong Yang and asked, "What's wrong with you today?"

"Ok?"

"I don't think you're happy."

"No." Zhong Yang said, "Stop thinking about it."

"No, you're not happy." Xie Siqing said again, "Zhong Yang, I know you're the film king."

"..."

"However, if you act again, even if everyone believes in you, you will never be able to fool me."

"..."

"Similarly," Xie Siqing continued, "Even if I am deceived by everyone, I can still feel that something is wrong with you."

"..."

"What's going on?"

Zhong Yang looked away: "It's because of today's scene."

"Which game?"

"It's the scene where the protagonist thought his wife had left him."

"What happened to that scene?" Xie Siqing asked, "You performed very well."

"I know." Zhong Yang said again, "But I was a little affected by that emotion, and I still can't switch it out until now."

"...Huh?" Xie Siqing was stunned.

Zhong Yang has always been quick to enter the drama, and even faster to get out of the drama, there has never been a time when he couldn't get out of the drama.This is completely different from Shao Yu. Shao Yu will seriously combine his past experiences to combine himself with the role he is playing, and then often cannot be separated for a long time.

"I also think this is very strange." Zhong Yang replied, "I never stay in the play."

"..."

"However, today was affected by the emotions in the play."

"Hmm." Xie Siqing asked, "What's wrong?"

"I..." Zhong Yang hesitated for a moment, and then said again, "At that time, I wondered what I would be like if you left me."

"..."

"Then, just imagining it, I feel very...uncomfortable."

"..." Xie Siqing asked, "Why should I leave you?"

"I don't know." Zhong Yang said, "I always feel that you have something very important to hide from me. I don't know what it is, but I am a little uneasy. Maybe you didn't want to do this, but who knows in the future What will happen."

"..."

"Because I don't know," Zhong Yang continued, "so, if something really happens in the future, I won't be able to protect you."

"..."

"Is there anything between us that we can't talk about?" Zhong Yang asked again, "I don't understand why you don't let me know."

"Zhong Yang," Xie Siqing looked at him and asked, "Do you care so much?"

Xie Siqing never knew that the other party cared so much.

"……fine."

Xie Siqing sighed: "Zhong Yang."

"Ah."

"I'll tell you." Xie Siqing said, "but give me a little time to prepare?"

"Well. That's good too."

"Also," Xie Siqing pulled Zhong Yang's hand, and only focused his eyes on Zhong Yang's, "I will not leave you, nothing will happen, do you have some confidence in me?"

"..."

Xie Siqing knew he would speak.

However, he hasn't figured out how to say it, and under what circumstances he should say it.

He was a little scared, afraid that Zhong Yang would be separated from him after he knew the truth.He knew that Zhong Yang would not leave him, he was just afraid that because of "Xie Siqing", Zhong Yang's affection for him would never be the same as it is today.

Xie Siqing took the initiative to kiss each other.

Zhong Yang hugged his waist, responded to the kiss, and gradually took the initiative.

After the kiss was over, Xie Siqing asked Zhong Yang: "Are you still feeling uneasy?"

Zhong Yang lightly rubbed Xie Siqing's neck: "Well, it's fine. As long as you are willing to tell me."

Xie Siqing kissed Zhong Yang again: "Go take a bath."

"Ah."

After Xie Si came out of the shower, he saw Zhong Yang playing with something.

He walked into the bedroom and looked at it, and immediately felt very strange.

Zhong Yang actually took out the camera.

The way he lowered his head and adjusted it was really handsome.

Of course, it's better if you can dress neatly.

At this moment, the camera is obviously already working.

Looking at it again, I was even more shocked.

- There are lights near the bed.

Mix and match sun lights and softboxes, all key and fill lights.

"..." Xie Siqing asked, "What are you doing?"

As soon as the words were finished, a director's hat was buckled off.

"..." What are you doing wearing a director's hat?He doesn't even wear it on set.

"Director Yao..." Zhong Yang hugged Xie Siqing from behind, kissed Xie Siqing's neck lightly, his voice was low and very sexy, "I have encountered a bottleneck in acting..."

"……what?"

"There's a sex scene, I can't do it."

"..."

"Will you teach me?"

Xie Siqing only had two lingering words in his mind: Hooligan——

Zhong Yang put his arms around Xie Siqing's waist with one hand, and touched Xie Siqing's hip bone with the other hand: "OK? Let's record the teaching so that I can review it later."

"……not good."

"Ok?"

"Stop making trouble... Zhong Yang."

"But," Zhong Yang said, "you said you would reward me during the day."

"..."

"Now I want to reward, do you want to go back on your word?"

"..." Xie Siqing said, "The reward does not include this."

"Why not include it? You didn't explain it."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xie Siqing to answer, she turned Xie Siqing around, then carried him to the bed, asked Xie Siqing to sit on the edge of the bed, and spread his legs up.

Then Zhong Yang lowered his head.

"Uh……!"

Xie Siqing felt like returning to the pornographic set.

But this time, he is an actor.

Seeing the camera prompting the lights to flicker, Xie Siqing really wanted to jump out of bed and turn it off.

But Zhong Yang held him down.

Xie Siqing closed his eyes and stopped looking.

Just focus on feeling it.

Thinking of Zhong Yang's appearance before today, Xie Siqing felt a little distressed.

It's all caused by myself—it made Zhong Yang, who would never stay in the next play, think of something and be affected by his emotions.

So now, just try to make him happy.

Xie Siqing really didn't want to let him down again.

After a while, Zhong Yang said, "Put your arms around my neck."

"……Oh."

Zhong Yang was originally standing on the ground beside the bed, but now he hugged Xie Siqing and turned him around to lie on the pillow.

Then Zhong Yang covered his body.

"..." Thinking of being photographed, Xie Siqing felt a little nervous.

As a result, the muscles all over the body were tense, but a certain place felt stronger.

"……"Too strange……

"Director Yao," Zhong Yang said shamelessly, "The script of your antique movie, the second passionate scene is almost the same process. You let me figure it out for myself, but I'm not sure how to act in many places... Do you think so? Or is it like this?"

"..." Xie Siqing really wanted to beat him to death.

But at this moment, he didn't have the heart to talk back, at this moment he could only spit out fragmented words.

……

After finishing, Zhong Yang showed the camera to Xie Siqing.

"...I don't want to watch it." Xie Siqing said.

"Let's take a look." Zhong Yang said again.

Then, Xie Siqing saw himself he didn't know at all.

Is that really me?

Panting, moaning, calling Zhong Yang non-stop, and then the voice disappeared in the other party's kiss.

Zhong Yang looked at it for a while, then sighed again: "I really want to keep it, but unfortunately I can't."

"...?"

"I deleted it."

"……Oh."

"In case of an accident, it will be very bad for us, especially for you if we are seen by others in the future."

"..."

Zhong Yang deleted the video and asked Xie Siqing, "Is it interesting?"

Xie Siqing lay back on the pillow and covered his head with the quilt.

"What's wrong?" Zhong Yang grabbed his quilt.

"roll."

"..."

……

——In the next few days, after the remaining scenes are processed, the film will be officially completed.

On the day of wrapping up, everyone was reluctant to part.

The three leading actors decided to leave the group.

Zhao Qing even sent a lot of things to Xie Siqing.

Of course, it is also given to others.

"Yeah." Little Putao said very moved, "From now on, every time I see these things, I will be able to recall your original voice and smile."

Zhao Qing: "Why do these words sound so strange..."

"..."

Zhong Yang will also leave the group.

"Goodbye." Xie Siqing pretended to be authentic, "Thank you very much for your participation, your performance is top-notch, I wish you all the best in the future, and hope that we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

Everyone: "..."

Everyone knew that Xie Siqing lived with Zhong Yang, but only Xie Siqing thought that others didn't know.

"...Well." Zhong Yang said, "Yes."

Xie Siqing didn't know which sentence "will" refers to, because he said a total of four sentences.

Even Qiu Shi has a little nostalgia.

"Time flies," he said.

"...Yes." Xie Siqing echoed.

"Don't forget what I said." Qiu Shi still looked serious, "If someone bullies you, tell me, and I will spray him to death for you."

"Thank you." Xie Siqing said with a smile.

Then, after thinking for a while, Xie Siqing said, "My next book, a role of biologist will be very suitable for you, keep in touch at any time."

In fact, that role is even more suitable.The biologist in the sci-fi film is a person with explosive combat power. He is aggressive in his bones. His favorite thing to do is to watch mice fight.Because the protagonist's cat killed all his mice, the biologist strongly stated that the engineers were useless and should have been sacrificed early to save oxygen, which became an opportunity for supercomputers to be used.Although it is very different from Qiu Shi himself, compared with the philistine, sleek, slick, and talking nonsense in the movie Bow and Arrow, Qiu Shi, who can hardly get along with everyone, is obviously more serious. Get close to biologists.

Over there, Qiu Shi nodded and said, "Okay."

That's it, before the script was finalized, the actors were first decided.

Meanwhile, Mike will be rushing off to shoot his next movie.

—It was directed by a famous director.

After all, Mike is very famous, and it is normal to change one after another.

"Okay, Director Yao." He said, "The green mountains will not change, and the green waters will flow forever. We will meet in the future!"

"..." Xie Siqing asked, "Who taught you this sentence?"

"Little Grape."

It's Little Putao again... Xie Siqing has a little headache, why is there something about him everywhere.

Mike... Xie Siqing thought, if possible, I really hope that Mike can also join the crew of the next play.

The people left were Xie Siqing and Chen Zhengzhi, and Wu Yisen still had some work.

As for Little Putao, he could have left, but Chen Zhengzhi lacked a handyman, so he let Little Putao continue to follow him.

Little Putao didn't understand anything, and he would do whatever others told him to do, so naturally he had no objections.

After this opportunity was finalized, Chen Zhengzhi made another wave of publicity.

He released several brand new stills.

For the audience of this movie, Chen Zhengzhi's delineation is very simple: first, we must talk about feelings, in other words, forceful.The second way to attract face control is to walk into the theater aiming at the handsomeness of the protagonist.

He did things separately for both aspects.

Then, it seemed that the marketing of the little animal was very successful last time, so I wrote another article.Although it is an article, it is actually full of pictures. Next to the stills of Zhong Yang, there are expressions or actions that can be said to be exactly the same cute animals. The animal that is mainly used is still very famous on the Internet. The title of the article is called "Zhong Yang is actually the transformation of xx!"

Chen Zhengzhi said that the reason why the animals were tied up was because no matter how handsome Zhong Yang was, only movie fans and face control reposted them, no matter what, they were still a minority, and it would make a big difference if they were paired with animals, and more people would share them impulse.

As for who should have "made up this article", Chen Zhengzhi chose a very influential person on Weibo.The main content of this person's Weibo is jokes from the entertainment industry, and they also post advertisements, but the advertisements are relatively hidden so that it is difficult to see them.

"Little Putao." Chen Zhengzhi commanded Little Putao, "Go and ask this person how much it costs to post an advertisement."

"Oh ok!" Little Putao said.

Then, only 15 minutes later, Little Putao returned disappointed.

He said to Chen Zhengzhi, "You are the one who misjudged."

"...Oh?" Chen Zhengzhi said, "Impossible?"

He was quite confident in himself.

"It's true..." Xiao Putao said, "He said that he is not a marketing account, he does not post advertisements, he is not this kind of person, we misunderstood him."

After finishing speaking, Little Putao sighed again: "Hey... We really wronged him."

"That's not right." Chen Zhengzhi sneered, "He obviously retweeted an advertisement of that broken star, the star called 'Willow Branch'."

"No." Little Putao explained, "I asked him about this. He said that Willow Branch is his friend, so he helped forward it, not just anyone."

"Ha!" Chen Zhengzhi looked at Little Putao with an expression like looking at a stone, "Why are you so stupid!"

"...Huh?" Little Putao was at a loss.He really didn't understand why he suddenly suffered a personal attack on his IQ.

"Quickly ask him." Chen Zhengzhi waved his hand impatiently, "Quickly ask him, 'Then how can I become your friend~?'"

"...Ah!" Little Putao just woke up like a dream.

Another 5 minutes later, Xiao Putao said that when he asked, "How can I become your friend~?" The other party said that he loves making friends the most, and gave him a penguin number.

"Go and ask how much it costs." Chen Zhengzhi made further instructions.

After 15 minutes, Little Putao came back for the third time.

He said: "It's crazy! He can post some advertisements for 'friends'! But 'friends' will usually show something! As a reward for his advertisements for friends!"

"and then?"

Little Putao became a little wilted when she said this: "But it still doesn't work..."

"Oh?"

"It's too expensive..."

"How many?"

"He said, 8000 pieces." Little Putao said, "It's too expensive!"

Little Putao also knew about their situation.

A total of 525 million has been spent, and there is very little that can be used for marketing.

They did not bring in other investors.

Therefore, a Weibo cost nearly 1 yuan, which is definitely not within the range that the crew can bear.

Over there, Little Putao continued: "It's really beyond our budget!"

"..." Chen Zhengzhi hated him again, "Little Putao, why are you so stupid!"

Little Putao looked at a loss: "What happened to me..."

Chen Zhengzhi said: "You hurry up and ask him: 'We are already friends, can't you give a price to a friend~?'"

"...Ah!" Little Putao woke up again like a dream.

Five minutes later, the little grape appeared for the fourth time.

"How?" Chen Zhengzhi asked.

"I asked..." Xiao Putao replied, "'I'm already a friend, can't I give a price to a friend~?' Immediately gave a 4000% discount, directly reduced to [-]...!"

"That's pretty much the same." Chen Zhengzhi snorted.

Beside, everyone who heard the whole conversation between the two would admire Chen Zhengzhi.

Many people originally thought that Chen Zhengzhi could only smoke, drink, and gamble, but now they suddenly realize that this person does have some special qualities.

Chen Zhengzhi's new round of animal hype has gained a lot.

Although the effect is not as good as last time, it is still very impressive.

Xie Siqing didn't quite understand these propaganda.

His job is to make films.

So, he contacted photographer Zhang Yiran and asked him to start preparing for editing.

Zhang Yiran is used to not reading the script. He is afraid that reading the script first will form an impression. He will not know what to explain and what not to, and will tell the story unclearly.Zhang Yiran likes to think about the best way to construct a story based on the material.Therefore, the editing time he needs will be longer.Xie Siqing didn't urge him either, since he was asked to take on this important job, he should give him 100% trust—at least, until the rough cut version came out, give him 100% trust.

Every time Xie Siqing went to Zhang Yiran, he felt a little scary.

Zhang Yiran always sat in the small room, no matter day or night, with thick curtains drawn so that no light could get in, and then without turning on the lights, he just sat there and edited films with a computer.He doesn't go out of the house either. According to Zhang Yiran's own description, apart from opening the door twice a day to collect takeaways, he actually sits in front of the computer all the time.After Xie Siqing sat down, Zhang Yiran still couldn't turn on the light. Every time the two of them relied on the weak light of a computer to have a conversation, Zhang Yiran's face looked like a ghost every time.

Zhang Yiran said that he likes the life of day and night, drunk and dreamy.Every day, go to sleep when your head hurts from facing the computer, face the computer when your head hurts when you sleep with your head covered, go to sleep when your head hurts when you face the computer, and go to sleep when your head hurts when you sleep blindfolded Facing the computer... so back and forth, I don't know what time it is, let alone what time it is.

"If you change my results into a mess again." Zhang Yiran said, "I will really give up changing and pick up junk from now on."

"……can you?"

Xie Siqing asked.

"Can I still pick up trash!" Zhang Yiran felt humiliated.

"That's not what I meant." Xie Siqing said, "You misunderstood. I mean, you have to get up early to pick up junk, and there will be nothing left when you are late."

"..." Zhang Yiran's face was very ugly, and he said after a while, "Then don't let me pick up the trash!"
